Intertrochanteric fractures and its management with DHS or PFN or Arthroplasty
SUMMARY
We should be able to minimize the morbidity associated with an intertrochanteric fracture by:
• Recognizing the fracture pattern.
• Choosing the appropriate fixation device.
• Performing accurate reduction.
• Ideal implant placement.
• Being conscious of implant COSTS.

Assessent and radiology of distal end radius fractureSusanta85
distal end radius is a common fracture in elderly groups and also in young by high velocity trauma its assessment and radiology should know for its management
