[Hip Zespol fixator in osteosynthesis for trochanteric fracture].

Over 250 proximal femur fractures (ones) have been treated in Department with hip Zespol fixator since 1987. There were 159 trochanteric (44 stable and 114 unstable) fractures in this group. Mean patient age at operation was 71 years. Thirty-four patients died before bony union had been achieved. One hundred-thirteen cases have been reviewed. In 101 patients the fracture healed without complications, in 12 cases reoperation was required due to fixator failure. The study confirms the need for anatomic reduction, proper surgical technique and most of all weight bearing restriction till radiographically confirmed union.

[Universal hip fixator "Zespol". Construction of the fixator, principles of function, instrumentation, surgical technique, indications and results of treatment].

The construction and principles of function of hip fixator based on Zespol method, with compression of the fragments provided by elastic deformation of a plate is presented. Original instrumentation, operative technique and indications for this type of osteosynthesis is described. Results analysis revealed that out of 64 patients 10 died within 6 month from surgery, all of them older than 80 years of age. In 46 from remaining 56 patients a union of fractured bone was found. There were 82.2% of good results in patients with femoral neck fracture and 87.5% in the group with trochanteric fractures. Few complications produces hope for Zespol hip fixator to become valuable device for treatment both trochanteric and femoral neck fractures.
