Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fractures Using Gamma Nail

Abstract

We treated 424 cases of intertrochanteric fractures using the Gamma nail between April 1996 and March 2003. All of the cases were able to walk at the time of the injury. We investigated their postoperative walking ability and conducted multivariate studies from the results, we concluded that early operation using the gamma nail and early rehabilitation helps to prevent loss of walking ability after intertrochanteric fractures.
