In this study the problems of surgical treatment for femoral trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures were analyzed in 1993 and 2002. We treated 46 patients with CHS from January to December 1993, and 53 patients with CHS and CHS with wire and screw from January to December 2002.
The average age of the patients and the number of complications before surgery have been increasing over the last 10 years.
Complications after surgery were frequent in grade 4 (Evans) in 2002. It was found that patients with numerous complications after surgery had to pay high medical expenses and stay in the hospital many days.
Patients with complex type fracture had to pay high medical expenses even after returning home.
