Popis:	We have operated on 30 patients over the age of 70 years for intertrochanteric fractures since May 1989. They have been divided into Group A, those with dementia (n=14) and Group B those without dementia (n=16).We present the following results:1) The recovery rate of Group A was 74.8%.2) The recovery rate of Group B was 92%.3) There was only one postoperative death in Group A.4) It is recommended that surgery is done as soon as possible and that complications such as decubitus, pneumonia, and so on are prevented, allowing the patient to regain their preinjury activity of daily living.
