[Fracture of the proximal femur--treatment and early results from a rehabilitation hospital].

Abstract

The fracture of the femur near the hip-joint as the typical fracture in the higher age is causing a high multi-morbidity. In the period 1969-1986 821 patients have been attended to. The application of methods of operation which are stable under charge have led the reducing the fatality and the duration of stationary medical attendance and to better functional early results.
