GREATER TROCHANTERIC FRACTURE IN STABLE INTERTROCHENTRIC FRACTURE

Background : stable intertrochentric femur with displaced greater trochanter is uncommon fracture pattern . intertrochentric femur fractures are associated with high morbidity and mortality , affecting both genders ,with different complexity

Case report  in our case report we have 75 years old male patient with history of fall sustained intertrochentric femur fracture with displaced greater trochenter treated with fixation of both fracture element  Using dynamic hip screw (DHS) with trochentric stabilizing plate (TSP) in addition to tension band fixing the greater trochenter

Discussion : different pattern of intertrochentric femur fracture require thorough planing for optimum management .intertrochentric femur fracture with displaced greater trochanter need further research to identify the best management option specially regard of functionality.
