proximal femoral fracture, osteosynthesis, osteoporosis, surgeryAbstract
Within a period from January 2010 to January 2016, there were a total of 920 surgically treated patients at the Orthopedics and Traumatology Department, Dubrovnik County Hospital, Croatia, which is a single acute hospital in Dubrovacko-Neretvanska County where all patients with proximal femoral fracture are treated. The aim of this retrospective study is to compare used implants according to the type of proximal femoral region fracture (femoral neck, pertrochanteric, subtrochanteric) and used osteosynthetic implant depending on the type of fracture. Modern new surgical techniques were used more commonly. Osteoporotic proximal femoral fractures stayed the major and growing problem in both geriatric traumatology and the general traumatology.
