Abstract
Advantages and disadvantages of various fixation procedures for use in fractures of the femoral neck - blade-plate with temporary fixation by means of Kirschner wire insertion or dynamic hip screws - and hemi- or total alloarthroplasty are described. The large number of fixation procedures for pertrochanteric fractures reflects the difficulty in achieving mobility and loading stability. On account of the possible intra- and postoperative complications, the highly propagated gamma nailing has proved problematic. Overall, the individual situation of the patient must be taken into account when chossing the appropriate fixation procedure.
