SUMMARY Og 47 cases of pertrochanteric fracture treated by internal fixation by the method of McLaughlin fistulae or abscesses occurred later (2–14 months after operation) in 6. Culture of the discharge never gave growth. Removal of the plates and nails was regularly followed by prompt recovery. The complications were thus probably due to electrolytic inflammation. In an attempt to minimize the transfer of metal from the tool to the plate without undue prolongation of the operation it is intended to continue using an electric drill, but to drill the pilot holes through the cortex with a hand tool.Downloads
