What is a subtrochanteric fracture?

The so-called subtrochanteric fracture mainly refers to the interruption of bone continuity and integrity below the large and small trochanters of the femur, resulting in significant swelling and pain around the hip joint, accompanied by limited leg movement. Therefore, after the patient shows a subtrochanteric fracture, be sure to see a doctor and choose a treatment method according to the fracture end injury. If there is obvious injury displacement of the fracture end of the patient's subtrochanteric fracture, closed reduction and intramedullary nail fixation can be used to limit the movement of the fracture site, restore the alignment of the fracture end and firm fixation, so as to promote the recovery of the fracture and restore the normal stressed movement of the lower limbs. If there is a subtrochanteric fracture, the alignment of the fracture end is good, and the fracture end can be fixed with braces or plaster to promote the recovery of the fracture. The above scheme is for reference only. Please use specific drugs under the guidance of professional doctors in combination with your own situation.
