This document discusses the treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures. It notes that fracture patterns like posteromedial comminution or subtrochanteric extension may require devices like cephalomedullary nails or fixed angle screws instead of a dynamic hip screw. It emphasizes the importance of pre-operative planning to determine the best method for reducing the fracture and achieving a target tip-apex distance of less than 25mm when implanting cephalomedullary devices.
