Intertrochanteric fractures in high risk geriatric patients treated by external fixation. 1985

Y Gotfried, and E Frish, and D G Mendes, and M Roffman

Conservative treatment in intertrochanteric fractures of the high risk patient carries a high rate of mortality and morbidity. In the present study external fixation of the fracture was performed under local or light general anaesthesia. This is a safe procedure and permits immediate full weight bearing.
