Abstract
DHS augmented with trochanteric wiring in unstable intertrochanteric fractures gives similar result to group without no wiring, although greater trochanter non-union rate was more in the latter group. Limp can be prevented by anatomical or valgus fixation, augmentation of DHS to support posteromedial and greater trochanteric fragments and delayed weight bearing.
