Abstract :

This study was carried out to audit the demographic trends of subtrochanteric femur fractures in the young and middle–aged population. It also analyzed the role of demography and fracture classification on surgeon‘s choice of operative intervention. Among the study population of 25 to 50 year age group, there appeared to be no significant relation between the demography or fracture type and the operative method selected by the surgeon (extra–medullary plating or intra–medullary nailing).
