EXTERNAL FIXATION OF INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES OF FEMUR IN ELDERLY.

V P Pathania1, M Balakrishnan2, Rahul Khare3.   

Abstract

Twenty patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur were treated by external fixation. They were selected because of their surgical risk and evaluated clinically and radiographically after 6,12 and 18 weeks. Fourteen out of twenty patients had excellent results. Caxa vara deformity, shortening and delayed union was observed in two patients. Results indicate that external fixation is a useful method for treatment of these type of patients.
