The Leinbach prosthesis is recommended for elderly patients with comminuted intertrochanteric fractures due to rapid functional restoration and low complication rates.

May support Leinbach prosthesis for rapid recovery in elderly intertrochanteric fractures; leaves open confirmation in prospective trials.
A series of 105 Type III and IV comminuted intertrochanteric fractures were treated by the insertion of a Leinbach prosthesis and followed for an average of 8.1 months. Based upon the results, the insertion of a Leinbach prosthesis is recommended for the elderly patient with a comminuted intertrochanteric fracture. Function is restored within a short period of time and allows unrestricted weight-bearing almost immediately. The hospital stay is shortened. The incidence of secondary operations, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, decubiti, and pneumonia is relatively low.
