Abstract

The most widespread internal fixation device used today is the fixed angle extramedullary device, such as a 95-degree lag screw and side plate or blade plate. This implant includes a large lag screw positioned in the center of the femoral neck and head and a side plate alongside the lateral femur. The screw-plate interface angle is changeable and depends on the anatomy of the patient and the fracture. A total of 30 patients who were admitted with intertrochanteric fractures that fitted into the inclusion criteria and managed surgically with proximal femoral nail were included in the study. In our series, Boyd and Griffin type II and type III contributed eighteen and six cases in each group, making to 60% and 20% followed by type IV contributing 6 cases making 20%. We performed closed procedure in 26 cases (87%) and open nailing in 4 cases (13%). The average duration of radiation exposure was 120 seconds, average duration of surgery was 95 minutes and average blood loss was 140 ml with 23% intraoperative complications
