It is generally accepted that trochanteric fractures are best treated by internal fixation as it provide satisfactory reduction and fixation of the fractures allowing early mobilization of the patient thus avoiding general and local complication following this sort of trauma. Fourty-seven cases of trochanteric fracture of the femur were treated at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Paik Hospital, Seoul, Inje Medical College from June 1974 to June 1982 and clinical analysis was made with particular emphasis on the comparision between compression hip screw fixation and Jewett nail technique. The result of the analysis are as follows: l. 63% of the male patient belongs to active age group in contrary to common belief in age incidence and the common causes of the injury was traffic accidents and fall from height. 2. By the Tronzo classification of the intertrochanteric fracture, the most common type is type III and type V was predomonant in the traffic accidents group and 87% of all cases belongs to unstable category. 3. Of the seventeen associated injuries, visceral injuries, fracture of the lower extremities, fractures of the upper extremities, fractures of the pelvis were observed in order of frequency. 4. More general complications were observed among the conservatively treated group and local complications occurred mainly in the group treated with Jewett naiL 5. The compression hip screw method seemed to be superior to Jewett nail owi#ng to shorter operation time, less blood loss and less complications. 6. Ender nail appears to be a promising method of treatment in the elderly patient because it had shorter operation time, negligible blood loss, minimal stress to the patient and early mobilization and weight bearing.

PURPOSE: We performed this study to elucidate whether patient`s satisfaction and improvement of clinical parameters after transurethral resection of prostate(TURP) correlate with the degree of preoperative obstruction. We investigated the role of urodynamic studies as a predictor of outcome after TURP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Parameters including pre-operative symptom scores(IPSS), uroflow rate, prostate volume and urodynamic studies, were assessed in 27 patients undergoing TURP due to BPH. Bladder outlet obstruction was assessed by pressure-flow study(PFS). Post-operative evaluation was performed with IPSS and uroflowmetry 3 months after surgery. Post-operative patient`s satisfaction was determined by subjective responses to the questionnaires. The subjective responses, clinical and urodynamic parameters were compared and statistically analyzed. RESULTS: Eighteen patients(67%) had preoperative bladder outlet obstruction(BOO; defined as L-PURR> or =3), while 14(52%) demonstrated associated detrusor instability(DI). Significant improvements in IPSS, quality of life, peak flow rate and residual urine were noted in all patients post-operatively(p<0.05). Significant improvements in voiding symptom scores were demonstrated in patients with good results(p<0.05). Good results(16 patients) were more frequently noted in the patients with BOO than those without BOO. 60% of the patients who showed only DI had poor results. The positive predictive value for the good and poor results were 76.9%(L-PURR> or =3) and 91%(L-PURR<3). CONCLUSIONS: No differences in the improvements of clinical parameters except voiding symptom scores were noted between obstructive and non-obstructive BPH. However, patient`s satisfaction after surgery was higher for patients in whom preoperative pressure-flow study confirmed obstruction. Also, obstructive parameters such as L-PURR or URA may be useful in predicting postoperative results.
