We prospectively randomized 233 patients with unstable trochanteric hip fractures for treatment with a 120° fixed angle blade-plate having a buttress rod (group A, n 111) or a 135° compression hip screw (group B, n 122). the minimum follow-up time was 1 year. the ratio of technical failure was 9% in group A and 19% in group B (p = 0.06). 79 (87%) fractures in group A and 65 (68%) fractures in group B healed without any complication (p = 0.003). Malunion occurred in 2 cases in group A and in 15 cases in group B (p = 0.002).Downloads
