【 摘 要 】

Intertrochanteric fracture fixations are ever evolving as they are among the most common fractures in gediatric age group, A series of 100 patients with Intertrochanteric fractures were treated with Trochanteric Femoral Nail (TFN) in D Y Patil Hospital, Kolhapur and Sir JJ Hospital; from a period of May 2010 to Feb 2014. They were classified according to AO OTA classification and results were concluded by KYLEs criteria. As TFN is a intramedullary implant and operated with minimal invasive technique results in small incison and less blood loss helps in early mobilisation of the paitent, Out of the 100 patients operated 56 had excellent, 23 good, 19 fair and 2 had poor results. Complications were seen in 11 patients with Z effect, nail breakage and shortening. A invasive surgery with a steep learning curve TFN is a judicious and rationale method for treating intertrochanteric fractures.
