Surgical management and outcomes following atypical subtrochanteric femoral fractures - results from a matched-pair analysis of the registry for geriatric trauma of the German Trauma Society.

Surgical treatment of ASFs was marked by more frequent use of closed intramedullary fracture reduction. Furthermore, patients with ASFs were more likely to be discharged home and died significantly less often in the given timeframe. The rate of perioperative complications, as indicated by nonsignificant reoperation rates, as well as patient walking abilities during the follow-up period, remained unaffected.
