Intramedullary fixation of a subtrochanteric femur fracture: This diagram illustrates and provides radiographs of an example of intramedullary fixation of a subtrochanteric femur fracture. Proximal fixation is achieved through the use of cephalomedullary screws and distally with locked interlock screws.
