Challenges And Treatment Principles in Osteosynthesis of Subtrochanteric Femur Fractures

Nepal Orthopedic Association Journal | 2025 | Purnaganapathi Sundaram Velmurugesan

Subtrochanteric fractures involve the proximal femur just below the lesser trochanter and are uniquely challenging due to the dense cortical bone and powerful muscle forces acting across the region, which produce predictable deformity patterns. These injuries typically result from high-energy trauma in younger individuals or low-energy falls in elderly patients with osteoporoti...

Classfication of Hip Fractures: Neck of Femur, Intertrochanteric, and Subtrochanteric Fractures

Nepal Orthopedic Association Journal | 2025 | Laxman Rijal

Fractures around the hip are common injuries seen in orthopedic practice, particularly in the elderly population. These fractures include femoral neck, intertrochanteric, and subtrochanteric fractures. These fractures are often associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and socioeconomic burden due to prolonged immobilization and loss of independence in physiologically a...
