    Abstract:
    The number and type of reoperations after fractures of the proximal femur was studied in Jokilaakso Regional Hospital, Finland, from 1970 to 1981. Reoperations after fractures of the femoral neck occurred in 32% (24/74), in trochanteric fractures in 13% (6/48). In fractures of the femoral neck 38% (9/24) of the reoperations were performed during the first postoperative year, in trochanteric fractures half of the cases. The average time of hospital stay for reoperation was 19 days.
