Eight two patients underwent 86 Kiintscher Y nailing for impending and pathologicalfractures of the proximal femur. All but five mobilised post-operatively, thus improving their quality of life. Eighteen patients died in hospital. Prophylactic nailing improved survival Fifteen out of 86 nailings wer
A prospective survey of hip fracture incidence and outcome was conducted to evaluate their socioeconomic impact. Over the course of 1 year, 404 hip fractures were recorded in 339 women and 65 men following minor or moderate trauma. The subjects' ages were 82.8 Β± 10.0 years (mean Β± SD): 84.1 Β± 9.2 in
