Abstract
Recently, early rehabilitation is carried out in many hospitals for osteosynthesis in patient with trochanteric femoral fracture. We report two cases with nonunion. Two patients with trochanteric femoral fracture were treated at our hospital between July 2008 and June 2010. We considered fracture type, tip-apex distance (TAD), and rehabilitation. Both cases had instable type fracture. Post-operatively TAD was 21.6 mm and 30.7 mm respectively, over the recommended index. The timing of full-weight-bearing was six days and four weeks after operation. Both had good positioning of reduction, but both resulted in poor nonunion because of poor instrument positioning.
