Resum
The objective of this work was to assess to clinical results with the Claufitt nail in the treatment of fractures of the proximal femur. From Octover 1997 to January 2000, 103 patients were treated with this implant, 73 patients (73 fractures) were studied during their hospital stay and followed up monthly at 6 months. Consolidation of the fracture occurred in 72 cases, the incidence of per operative complications was 11% and there were 11% postoperative complications. Three cases of superior cut out the proximal screws, three shaft fractures and two cases of screw penetration to hip joint were the most important complications. Per operative complications were attributable to technical errors. We had a percentage of postoperative complications similar to Gamma nail series, needing to improve the proximal lock screw system to avoid hip penetration.
