DHS and Interfragmentary screw in subtrochanteric fracture
Subtrochanteric factures are fractures below the intertrochanteric line of femur. These are high velocity fractures and quite common in young active adults.
The xray in the picture is of a 43 years old man who sustained this fracture after fall from height.
The xray is one month following the surgery and fracture is showing union in most of its surface.
Fractures of subtrochanteric region are not amenable to surgical treatment and are treated by operative methods.
