| Abstract | 135 consecutive cases of trochanteric fractures were analysed for the merits and demerits of operative and non-operative treatment. Sixty three cases were treated by non-operative method whereas 53 were treated by surgery. Though there was not much difference in mortality rate, 59.3 per cent of cases treated by surgery had excellent results whereas It was only 37.64 per cent in the cases treated by non-operative method. There was not much difference in fair and poor results as most of the patients treated by non-operative methods had good results (43.84 per cent). In short the simple non-operative method was found to be less superior than operative treatment. |
