[Treatment of intertrochanteric fractures by Pohl's screw (author's transl)]

Abstract

The dynamic slide osteosynthesis of Pohl - a single acting method - is compared to other methods of operations. 103 patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were treated by "Pohlsche Laschenschraube". The average age of patients was 76.7 years. The average stay in our hospital lasted 43 days. 16.5% of the patients died. 27 patients were examined two years after operation. The further study is based on clinical documents.
