Intertrochanteric fractures are located in the proximal femur. They dominate in elderly, are result of low-energy trauma and most frequently may happen among women. Noteworthy, intertrochanteric is a criterion of osteoporosis. Such fractures may happen in young individuals, but are result of high-energy trauma and usually are a part of polytrauma. Based on the survival rates, for many years trochanteric fractures were called "last fractures in life". The advances in medical sciences (namely: medicine, anesthesia and critical care), medial engineering and surgical techniques are offering opportunities to successfully treat this type of fracture. They also give possibilities for quicker recovery and return to pre-fracture activity level. Despite the progress the mortality rate in the first year after incidence is still high and averages about 30%. Additionally, considering the age of patients and comorbidities the complications are not uncommon. In our clinic we treat on average 220 patients with intertrochanteric fracture. Almost all patients are treated within first few days after admission and fracture fixation is performed with gamma nail. In our article we presented the intramedullary nail fixation for trochanteric fractures. We focused on intramedullary nail fixation and we compared this method with other types of fixation. We also analyze complications.
