The authors report the clinical and radiographic results obtained in the treatment of 138 patients with pertrochanteric fractures of the neck of the femur by Ender's elastic nail. This extremely simple method of treatment, which is within the scope of all surgeons, permits early recovery of function in the elderly patient and, even more important, early mobilisation in the upright stance, thereby preventing many of the surgical complications that can affect elderly patients.
