Abstract
The intertrochanteric proximal femoral fractures account for a significant amount of today's orthopaedic surgeon's workload and pose a challenge for the healthcare system around the globe. A timely surgical management that allows early mobilization is the key in the reduction of the high inherent mortality following these fractures. Several devices are currently available aiming to facilitate such an outcome. This article attempts to review the contemporary understanding of the available clinical evidence on the management options of intertrochanteric hip fractures.
