Abstract :

 Proximal femoral nail have been introduced relatively recently but have begun to compete the traditional DHS. The mechanical strength of the nail and less invasive procedure has made the procedure preferable. This prospective study consists of study of 100 cases of intertrochenteric fracture treated with proximal femoral nail. Radiological assessment was done with serial x–ray. Patients were clinically assessed using harris hip score.18 patients had complications related to implant. Proximal femoral nail is an optimum implant for the internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures, especially the unstable variety, with advantages of lesser dissection; early weight beå and ambulation with early resumption of daily activities. Most of the cases were relatively free from long term complication. It has low pre and post op complication.
