Abstract
Eighty-eight patients (90 cases) aged over sixty-five with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were surgically treated during 1983-1988. 44 cases were repaired with Ender nails and 46 cases with compression hip screws (C. H. S). The average operation time and bleeding volume were 43 minites and 57g in Ender nails, and 69 minites and 108g in C.H.S. Postoperative clinical evaluations and the recovery rates of walking ability were almost equal and general appearances affected them. The patients (33%) operated with Ender nails had complained of gonalgia at inserting point. Courses of rehabilitation of C. H. S. were more stable than those of Ender nails.
