PURPOSE

To evaluate the late radiographic and functional complications occurring after treatment of reverse oblique trochanteric fractures with the proximal femoral nail.

PATIENTS

This is a retrospective study which was conducted between October 2004 and October 2009. 55 patients with a reverse oblique trochanteric fracture were treated with the Gamma 3 nail. According to the AO classification, there were 36 type AIII-1, 8 AIII-2, 11 AIII-3 fractures. Closed reduction was achieved in all patients. The long gamma 3 nail was used in 34 fractures. The mean follow up was 18 months (range 9 to 32 months). The patients were evaluated clinically (Harris hip score) and radiographically.
