Abstract

Intertrochanteric fracture of femur is defined as fractures involving upper end of femur through and in between both trochanters with or without extension into upper femoral fragment. The incidence of intertrochanteric fracture is rising because of the increase in number of elderly population superadded with osteoporosis. These fractures are three to four times more common in women and the mechanism of injury is usually due to low-energy trauma like a simple fall.
