To the question of the treatment of trochanteric fractures of the femur

The results of treatment of 120 patients with trochanteric fractures are presented. Conservative treatment was used in 31 (25.8%) patients, surgical - in 89 (74.1%)). At surgical treatment Bakychakov’s Г-shaped plate was applied in 47 patients (52.8%), CITO nail in 22 cases (24.7%) and new device elaborated at the clinic in 20 cases (22.5%). New device consists of two plates, compression unit and antirotation element. That device ensures low traumatic osteosynthesis, fixation stability, posibility of bone fragments correction during operation. The use of the device showed good results in 16 patients (80%), satisfactory in 3 (15%)) and unsatisfactory in 1 (5%) patient. The suggested technique of osteosynthesis can be used even in weakened patients with femoral trochanteric fractures.
