[Results of the fixation of pertrochanteric fractures by condyle nails using Ender's and Simon-Weidner methods]

Abstract

2 year-results are reported after intramedullary fixation of pertrochenteric fractures with the so-called "feather nails" of Ender and Simon-Weidner. The procedure is discussed with special references to possible complications. This method performed with the necessary experience represents a real progress in the treatment of pertrochenteric fractures.
