title: [Pertrochanteric fractures. What impact do surgical timing and implant choice have on the outcome?].
abstract: Pertrochanteric fractures are grouped together with femoral neck fractures to represent the most frequent femur fractures in the region of the hip joint and usually occur in elderly people with preexisting conditions. Analysis of the data from the 2004/2005 quality assurance program of North Rhine-Westphalia shows, just as is the case for medial femoral neck fractures, that not only does delayed management increase risk-adjusted general and surgical complications but also mortality.
