Abstract
Increases in the concentration of total ALP after surgery and the subsequent decreases may reflect the normal healing process. A significant difference in the changes of total ALP after surgery between femoral trochanter and neck fractures was shown. Periodic measurement of total ALP might be useful for obtaining information on the osteosynthesis state.
