    Abstract:
    Butel's hip plate was used for osteosynthesis of 241 fractures of upper end of femur (100 true cervical - 141 trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures). Results for true cervical fractures were assessed as satisfactory in 89.5% of cases, with only 3 pseudarthroses and 4 cases of femoral head necrosis (2 septic, 2 aseptic), a total complication rate of 7.5%. These clinical results confirm the value of screw fixation at several cephalic anchorage sites (demonstrated biomechanically) in true cervical fractures. Results in trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures were rated as satisfactory in 86.9% of cases, complications including 2 ruptures of plate, 1 sepsis and 4 early loosening of plate. The latter sequela was avoided by an improved choice of indication for the procedure and by substitution of this compound material (screw-plate) for a monobloc piece ("anti-loosening cervicocephalic screw apparatus"), in compound fractures of trochanter.
