Abstract

A comparative analysis of the information contained in five different classification systems was performed.

The system classifying the fractures into five types in relation to the comminution of the calcar femorale or greater trochanter was found to be superior to the others, as it contained the most reliable information about the possibility of obtaining stable fracture reduction and gave the most accurate prediction of the risk of secondary fracture dislocation.
