Overview

Observational study evaluates osteosynthesis outcomes in 100 elderly patients, indicating effective fixation strategies.

Key Points

  • Fractures united in 90% of cases, with an average healing time of 15.8 weeks.
  • Avascular necrosis occurred in 8% of patients, while approximately 10% experienced improper healing.
  • The study used methods including cannulated cancellous screws, dynamic hip screws, and locking plates.
  • Optimizing fixation strategies can lead to good outcomes in active elderly patients.
