[Osteosynthesis of the femoral neck fractures using the original device]

At the centre of traumatology, the Central District Clinical Hospital N 12 of Kiev, the authors have conducted investigations in order that on the basis of clinical and roentgenologic findings they might assess both early and long-term results of osteosynthesis of the femoral neck fractures with the aid of the elaborated device made of titanium. The studies were made in 43 patients aged 30 to 70 years over the period 1997-2000. Complications were recorded in 9.5 percent of cases. Osteosynthesis of the femoral neck fractures by making use of the elaborated device will, we believe, come to be efficiently used by traumatologists.
