title: Subtrochanteric-intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
abstract: Subtrochanteric fractures can be managed effectively with newer techniques and implants. If the proximal fragment is intact and includes the lesser trochanter, an interlocking intramedullary nail is indicated. If there is inter-subtrochanteric comminution, a screw-plate device with bone graft, or a Zickel nail should be used.
