[Treatment of fractures of the proximal femur].

For early revasculation of the head of the femur and in order to avoid delayed healing, today the surgical treatment of lateral fractures of the neck of the femur as well as of fractues of the trochanter is unquestioned. In a group of 25 injured persons the method of osteosynthesis of the neck of the femur was applied, and its favourable results led to the development of a new method for the treatment of lateral fractures ofthe neck of the femur and fractures of the trochanter.
