Abstract

The technical aspects of Ender's method in the treatment of trochanteric fractures are described. Problems and complications encountered with this method and their prevention and treatment are discussed. Intraoperative and postoperative problems are subdivided into those in the hip area and around the knee joint, such as: varus deformity, protrusion of the rod medially or laterally or into the hip joint, cracking the distal femur, incorrectly placing the window on the anteromedial side of the femoral condyle, backing out of the rods, and supracondylar fractures.
