Nowadays there is so much controversy regarding treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly pts whether to go for osteosynthesis with DHS/PFN and wait for achieving bony union or go for bipolar hemiarthroplasty and started weight bearing next day. There are advantages as well as different risks with both these procedures.
some articles favour fixation as gold standard method and some says bipolar hemiarthroplasty as recent advances in treatment. my question to the group members is that nowdays should be go for bipolar hemiarthroplasty rather than fixation in elderly pts
