  • Title: [Ender nailing versus dynamic hip screw--a comparison of early postoperative results].
    Author: Geissler N, Putzki H, Heymann H.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1992; 117(6):355-7. PubMed ID: 1519396.
    Abstract:
    Proximal fractures of femur may be alternatively treated by implantation of dynamic hip screws or Ender-nails. Estimation of the value of both measures is to be done by analysis of the early postoperative course. Full load bearing capability was obtained in 83% of all cases with Ender-nails as against 68% of all cases after implantation of hip screws. Duration of operation was clearly shorter and the need for blood transfusions was reduced by implantation of Ender-nails. The amount of specific technical complications was equal in both procedures. There were no differences in the postoperative ability to walk.
