Abstract Full text Figures/Tables References Cited by

Forty cases of intertrochanteric fractures of femur were treated with percutaneous nonmetallic external fixator. The patients were followed up for 6 months to 3 years, and the fractures were all united without coxa vara or shirtening deformities. There was no mortality in this series. This method had the advantages ofbeing simple, save time and effort, less traumatic and early ambulation. The design of the apparatus tallied with the biomechanics of the neck and shaft of the femur.
