Key result
Treatment of trochanteric fractures with a sliding-screw technique resulted in an 18% one-year mortality rate, a 7.4% reoperation rate, and 80% of previously mobile patients regaining mobility.

May support sliding-screw use in trochanteric fractures; leaves open comparative efficacy versus modern implants in randomized trials.
Cohort (n=563)
What are the long-term clinical and roentgenographic outcomes of trochanteric fractures treated with a sliding-screw technique?
LARSSON et al. (1990) conducted a cohort in Trochanteric fractures (n=563). Sliding-screw technique vs. Control cohort was evaluated on One-year mortality rate. Treatment of trochanteric fractures with a sliding-screw technique resulted in an 18% one-year mortality rate, a 7.4% reoperation rate, and 80% of previously mobile patients regaining mobility.
