Outcome Of Proximal Femoral Nailing In Subtrochanteric Fracture Of Femur In Adults

Abstract

Introduction: Subtrochanteric fractures typically occur in the proximal femur between the inferior
aspect of the lesser trochanter and a distance of about 5 cm distally, however, it progress into the
intertrochanteric region generally in most cases. The deforming forces on both the proximal and distal
segments are difficult to control because of muscle insertion to the proximal and distal fragments.
This study is intended to assess the efficacy of Proximal Femoral Nailing in the treatment of
subtrochanteric fracture
