Overview
In the submitted paper we describe our first experiences with the new implant for the treatment of proximal femur fractures – Targon PF. This is a titanium angle stable implant produced by B/Braun –Aesculap. In 2005 we treated 39 fractures of the proximal femur with Targon PF at the Department of Trauma Surgery. With this new implant we were achieved very stable osteosynthesis of the proximal femur. The patients can be rehabilitated early with 50 % weight bearing on the affected limb after this type of surgery.
Key words:
proximal femoral nail, femur, stable osteosynthesis.
