Materials and methods: The study was conducted from June2013 to June2015 where 25 patients with inter-trochanteric fractures of femur were selected. A prospective study comprising of patients identified for surgical treatment of fracture in the inter-trochanteric region of femur admitted to our hospital.
Aims and Objectives: To Study the clinical profile of patients with inter-trochanteric femur fractures.
Result: The majority of the patients were in the age group of 61-80 i.e. 60% followed by in the age group of 81-100 were 20%; in 21-40 were 12% and in 41-60 were 8%. The majority of the patients were Females i.e.66.00% followed by Males 44.00%. The most common mode of injury was Trivial fall was 80%followed by RTA were 12% and fall from height8%. The majority of the patients were of Type 2Were 56% followed by Type 4- 28%; Type 3 were 12% and Type 1 were 4%. The majority of the patients were having Right Side of injury i.e. 52% followed by Left 48%.
Conclusion: From our study it can concluded that the inter-trochanteric femur fractures were more common in old age and in females so this could be attributed by underlying osteoporosis prevalent more in females.
