[Solution of Intertrochanteric Fractures of Proximal Femur by 130 degrees Angled Blade Plate - Longterm Results.].

: Authors summarize their longterm outcomes of the use of 130 degrees angled blade plate in intertrochanteric fractures. The group comprises 110 patients operated on by this technique in the period of 1988-1997. The analysis of the results has proved that this technique was justified in stable fracture classification according to AO/ASIF - A1.1 A1.2. In other fractures A1.3 A2.1 A2.2 A2.3 there occurs after 6 months a varus position and in extreme cases the internal fixation fails. In the second part of the article the authors inform about the results in a group of 24 patients 3 to 6 years after operation. The patients have been subdivided into two groups according to the stability of the fracture; based on the Harris score evidently better results have been recorded in patients with a stable intertrochanteric fracture. Half of these patients reached the score of 81 points and more according to Harris. Key words: intertrochanteric fracture of proximal femur, technique of 130 degrees angled blade plate.
