Abstract
Background: Intertrochanteric fractures continue to make up a significant portion of everyday orthopedic practice, and their incidence is on the rise with increasing life expectancy. Previously, the dynamic Hip Screw, an extra-medullary device, was used for fixation. However, over the past decade, there has been a growing preference for intramedullary fixation methods such as Proximal Femoral Nailing. Despite this, there is no general consensus on their routine use.
