[Therapeutic management in trochanteric fractures].

The authors present the management of trochanteric fractures based on 343 fractures treated in Department of Orthopaedics and Trauma in Clinical Hospital of Emergencies of Iaşi for 5 years. The non-operative treatment was used in 17.2% of cases and the conservative methods were plaster immobilization, continuous traction and early mobilization. The surgical treatment was used in 82.8% of cases. The reduction of the fractures was usually possible using closed methods. For fixation, the authors used four types of implants: the 135 degrees blade-plate in 9.2% of cases, the condylar blade plate in 44.7%, Ender nails in 45.4% and DHS in 0.6% of cases. The choice of one of this methods depends on the type of fracture, age of the patient and on his biological status.

[Sandostatin treatment in postoperative external digestive fistulae].

The aim of the conservative treatment of postoperative external digestive fistulae is to obtain a reduction of the output, thus favoring spontaneous closure and shortening outcome. A retrospective comparative study has been performed on two groups of patients with postoperative anastomotic gastrointestinal and pancreatic fistulae. Group A included 18 cases (14 anastomotic, 4 pancreatic fistulae) receiving conventional treatment only. Group B included 25 cases (18 anastomotic and 7 pancreatic fistulae) in which Sandostatin was associated to conventional therapy, using daily doses ranging from 0.1 mg to 0.3 mg, administered after variable intervals after fistulas' occurrence. Duration of treatment ranged from 1 to 25 days. In group A, 27.77% of the cases were cured in comparison with group B in which the healing rate increased to 56%. Global hospital mortality rate was 25.58% (11 cases). In group A this was 44.44% (8 cases) in comparison with group B with 12% (3 cases) only. As a conclusion of our study, the use of Sandostatin is remarkable effective in the treatment of external digestive postoperative fistulae. Thus a doubling of healing rate and a reduction by 73% of mortality rate was achieved.
