A retrograde femoral nail was designed to slide over the tip of the femoral stem. Eighteen patients (4 ♂, 14 ♀) were treated with this retrograde nail between 1995 and 2003. The mean age was 81.4 years (range 61–96) with a mean follow-up of 21 months (range 4–61 months). Eight patients suffered from severe comorbidity. Mean surgical time was 91min. Fourteen patients regained their preoperative functional...
