Subtrochanteric femoral fractures with and without bony contact were simulated in cadaver specimens, fixed with one of seven different types of intramedullary or plate implants, and tested biomechanically. The implants used were Enders pins, Zickel nail, compression hip screw, A 0 angled blade plate
In the subtrochanteric region of the femur high tensile forces are active in the lateral cortex and even higher compressive forces in the medial cortex. Subtrochanteric fractures are often comminuted. The implant of choice for osteosynthesis of subtrochanteric femoral fractures is the condylar plate
