Overview
The current possibilities concerning selection of implants and the respective devices provide us with good prerequisites for a successful treatment of almost all trochanteric fractures. The basis is a proper evaluation of the type of the fracture and respecting its biomechanical features. Based on this analysis we select the implant and the proper operative technique. Quality is the highest priority as concerns the actual operation. A number of patients tolerate only one operation and it is better if it takes 10 minutes more than if it is performed improperly. The so called implant failure is in most cases the surgeonęs failure.
Key words:
trochanteric fractures – diagnostics – classification – therapy
