Abstract
In the geriatric population, trivial fall is the most critical cause of nonfatal injuries and hospital admissions. The Proximal femur fractures are divided into three categories: femoral Neck and inter‐trochanteric fractures account for 90% and sub‐trochanteric fractures occur in 5‐10%. This study's cases were collected from patients admitted to the Department of Orthopaedics, Government General Hospital, Kurnool from November 2018 to November 2020. During this period, elderly patients with Intertrochanteric fractures were classified by Boyd and Griffin classification and 30 cases were selected based on the inclusion criteria and were operated with Dynamic Hip Screw. In the present study, most patients were allowed to bear full weight between 12‐18 weeks after surgery. The mean duration of full weight‐bearing in the present study is 15.16±4.16.
