By this study, we explore the potenti ability locking to counter fractures extra articular, partial or intra- articular nature. Positive results have been brought out by various groups from all over world. Aim: To study clinical, functional ra...

Background: Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures are one of the most common lower limb fractures. There are many varied treatment options to treat the same. Also, our basic understanding of IT fractures is improving leading to evolution of newer concepts which in turn is leading to designing of newer implants.
