Upper femoral fracture occurs in all ages but most common in elderly due to stumble. 14 cases of upper femoral fracture treated by porous splint AO were studied to evaluate the bone contiguity and mechanical rehabilitation. Results: good (all patients): certain bone contiguity; axis direct bone; normal fold of hip joint.

Atypical femoral fractures differ from ordinary femoral diaphyseal or subtrochanteric fractures in several aspects. Although several authors have reported the results of surgical treatment for atypical femoral fractures, the rate of complications (e.g., delayed union, nonunion, fixation failure, and reoperation) is still high. Therefore, we reviewed principles of surgical treatment and describe useful methods for overcoming femoral bowing in these high-risk patients.

Management of fresh femoral neck fractures by closed reduction with percutaneous knowles pins in the past 17 years in CTO. From 1983 to this year, 2,412 patients with fresh femoral cervical fractures were treated by closed reduction with percutanous knowles pins through 3 periods. Percutaneous pining become the main procedure in treament of fresh femoral neck fractures in Center for Traumatology and Orthopaedics at least 1-4 cases a days with good results especially for the elderly patients. They can wake up the days after surgery. This method was also realized in developed countries at the end of the years 70. With very small incisions, minimal influence for the body, percutanous pinning enhanced the recovery, shortened the hospital time and lowered treatment fees.

28 patients (male: 12, ages of 50-70) with femoral cervical bone fracture treated by 2 screw AO for bone healing have shown that 14 patients had bone with straight axis, no bone fistula or osteitis and 14 patients had limited movement. 2 patients experienced the bone dislocation and no movement of hipjoint.

Method of fixation: - Carbon plate.- Carbon plate accompanied with IM nail. There have been previous several analysises of many respects. The report only analysed functional features of carbon plate in detail, based on 5 year experiences of using carbon plate for treatment of fractures. The ratio of stable union has reached an encouraging level. It is worth discussing the active and direct contribution of carbon composite material to the bone healing process. Fixation with carbon plate produces flexible fixation which is now considered to encourage. In terms of technique, it is not necessary to follow strictly the rules of rigid fixation. Two basic points have been performed adversely. Immobilization allows a little movement. A small gap still remains between the end of fractures. But the results are satisfactory: periostal bridging callus occurs early and popularly at the opposite site of the place where the carbon plate was put on (contrary to rigid fixation in which there is always the risk of destroying bone and bone graft is used as a rule in the case of complex fractures). The evaluation of results is different as well. In rigid fixation, periostal callus is a sign of failure. In flexible fixation (for example: using carbon plate) periostal callus which is block-shaped and bridged is a sign of good healing. In practice, there is correspondence between its occurrence on X-ray film and patient' s ability to function well. 30% of the cases removed carbon plate after bone healing have had newly made vessels on the bone surfaces under carbon plate. This proved that when contacting directly with fracture site, carbon plate encourages actively revascularization. The authors who recommended using metal plate to fix rigidly fractures site observed that "the bone zone under the plate is in osteolytic condition; cortical wall becomes cancellous bone and the zone potentially produces bone necrosis". In summary, carbon composite used to make plate for fixing bone fracture actively pushes up newly made vessel. This is the mandatory and most important criterion for bone healing. Brittle and breakable character can be overcome by changing pattern and combining carbon plate and IM nail as a short-termed move.

15 experimental dogs with stainless steel plates and screws fixed in the femur were enrolled into a controlled study to assess histological outcome manifested surrounding the sites of intervention. Plates and screw were firmly attached to the bone. No abnormal reaction was observed macroscopically and microscopically. No inflammatory cells were found after a 45, 90, 135, and 180 days follow-up. The structure and the thickness of the connective membrane in contact with the fixed material had a tendency to become more and more stable. From the day 90, no differences were noted between the group of experimental animals and the control subjects using Chinese SMIC material.
