Abstract
A subtrochanteric fracture is defined by its major portion of at least 2/3 which must be situated underneath the mid-part of the trochanter minor. Stabilization of subtrochanteric fractures technically does not differ from treatment of pertrochanteric fractures. The intramedullary device used for treatment is usually sufficient to bear strains occurring during the mobilization period. There is a major difference between these fracture types, though.
