Abstract

Forty patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were treated by external fixation between July 1992 and April 1994. They were selected because of their high surgical risk, and evaluated by radiographs immediately after operation, and at 30 and 90 days. The results indicate that external fixation is a useful method of treatment for this type of patient.
