At the end of five months, all except three patients could mobilise independently without any aid. The average length of Hospital stay was 17.6 days. Operating time decreased with increasing familiarity of the implant system. The operating time for 72% cases was between 1 to 2 hours. Result: Majority of the cases were due to high energy trauma of Road traffic Accidents involving relatively younger patients. All surgeries were done under spinal or epidural anaesthesia, low molecular weight heparin prophylaxis is given subcutaneously for the high risk patients during the hospitalization. All patients were maintained on traction before surgery.
Ethical Committee Clearance was obtained before beginning of the study. Materials and Methods: The present study conducted on subtrochanteric femur fracture cases admitted in GSL medical college and general hospital, Rajahmundry during December 2013 to July 2015. The present study was made attempt to evaluate the functional outcome of subtrochanteric femur fractures treated with proximal femoral nail. Introduction: The difficult nature of treating subtrochanteric fracture stems in part from the fact that this injury pattern is anatomically distinct from other proximal femoral peritrochanteric fractures and also from the femoral shaft fractures.
