ABSTRACT
The treatment of the intertrochanteric fractures are well established, with union rates greater than 95% and with minimal complications with the different existing implants. Nevertheless, the unstable proximal femoral fractures (type AO 31 A 2.2 and 2.3 and subtrochanteric) have demonstrated to be of difficult management due to the reverse intertrochanteric fracture, the comminution of the greater trochanter and/or the lateral cortex, situation that increases the instability and difficult the management with the different known implant devices, being the reason to realize a revision and recommendation of the best way to treat and prevent the most common possible complications of the different used implants devices in the treatment of this type of fractures.
