The authors have established that osteoporosis is noted in the age above 70 years old--in 70-80% and above 80 years old--in all of the patients. That's why while treating the fractures of neck of the femur (NF) in the patients aged older than 60 years the osteosynthesis is not recommended. The stump joint endoprosthesis may be a method of choice. It is expedient to prescribe antiresorptive preparations phosamax, myacalcique and preparations of calcium in the complex of treatment.
