[Results of treating slipped capital femoral epiphysis by pinning in situ].

The primary aim in treatment of chronic SCFE consists of immediate stabilization of the epiphysis to prevent further slipping. For mild degrees of slipping (<30 degrees ), pinning in situ is the treatment of choice. With slips between 30 and 50 degrees, the decision should be based on individual factors (age, functional limitation of the hip joint) whether pinning in situ is sufficient or whether an additional intertrochanteric osteotomy according to Imhäuser should be performed.

[Living conditions and mortality in the elderly after surgical management of para-articular hip fractures].

While hemiendoprothesis has been established in the treatment of hip fractures of aged people because of less operative trauma, better effectiveness and satisfying functionality, surgical management of trochanteric fractures is still in discussion. In our study, we found no severe difference of living conditions or mortality after operating elderly patients with proximal femoral fractures comparing Hemiprotheses versus Endernails versus Dynamic Hip Screws.
