Hip Fracture: Non-operative Mx - Callum Clark 16/8/2000Operative or Conservative treatment for trochanteric fractures of the femur
R. Hornby, J. Grimley Evans, Valerie Vardon (RVI, Newcastle upon Tyne) JBJS (Br) 1989; 71-b : 619-23 Excellent PRCT in 106 inter-troch #s with either DHS or traction. Found DHS better, but only because decreased length of stay, and less loss of independence. Complications (eg bed sores) were surprisingly no different.
