Abstract
The incidence of fractures in the trochanteric region is high in the elderly, and early stabilization is required that allows immediate weight bearing. Older patients with low bone quality, limited compliance and strength, and the inability for partial weight-bearing, benefit from intramedullary stabilization of these fractures. The choice of implant and the operative technique depends on the degree of instability in the individual fracture type. Intertrochanteric fractures are frequently combined with subtrochanteric fracture types. Their treatment is still a challenge because of the high degree of instability.
