Abstract

Fracture of Intertrochanteric region has been successfully fixed since years with the use of dynamic hip
screw and proximal femoral nail, however life-threatening complications associated with these methods
are not unknown to the orthopaedic fraternity. We present a report of two cases of pseudoaneurysm of
profunda femoris artery which were operated for intertrochanteric fracture elsewhere and then referred
to our hospital when during follow up for the index surgery, the course got complicated.
