Abstract:
The trochanteric region of femur is composed of cancellous bone, and so trochanteric fractures are seldome subject to the complication of non-union or proximal fragment necrosis. Cinicians agree that these fractures should be treated by proper alignment of the fragments and operative internal fixation, but disagreement persists about the type of reduction and the technique of internal fixation. Kaufer said that non-anatomical stable reduction.
