Abstract :

Peritrochanteric femur fracture are usually sustained from a fall or road traffic accident. Reduction and Internal fixation is an alternative due to frequent development of non-union, increase in morbidity and related complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this prospective study of 83 patients with peritrochanteric femur fracture operated with proximal femur nailing were enrolled. RESULTS: Results were considered in terms of complication ,mobility and Harris hip score. CONCLUSION: Peritrochanteric femur fracture operated with Proximal femur nailing yielded good overall results.we recommend operating peritrochanteric femur fracture with Proximal femur nail in adults as well as elderly
