The fractures of the peritrochanteric region of the femur are one
of the most common injuries seen in current orthopaedic practice.
Incidence of these fractures has increased significantly during
recent decades and this tendency will probably continue in near
future due to rising age of population. Closed methods of treatment
have shown higher mortality rates & have largely been
abandoned. Rigid internal fixation and early mobilization has been
standard method of treatment. There has been a long standing debate
regarding the operative procedure of choice in these fractures. By
comparing the sliding screw system (Dynamic Hip Screw) against the
mini-invasive intramedullary nailing device (Proximal Femoral Nail)
this study aims to throw light on the management of trochanteric
fractures.
