1 | INTRODUCTION
Trochanteric fractures are extra-capsular fractures of the proximal femur between the greater and lesser trochanters, usually occur in the elderly, women are more than men, often more than 2 times.
The mechanism of injury for young people is often due to high energy, while for older people due to low energy. Trochanteric fractures if treated early, the risk of non-union or mal-union is low.
The surgical management of fractures needs to coordinate treatment of accompanying medical conditions, otherwise the death rate in the first year is 20-30% [1].
