    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Basal and trochanteric femur fractures are common orthopedic injuries.
    • Ender's nails are established fixation devices with known mechanical strengths.
    • Complex subtrochanteric fractures present unique surgical challenges.

    Observation:

    • The authors have extensive experience with Ender's nails in femur fractures.
    • Five complex subtrochanteric fracture cases were treated with Ender's nails.
    • Clinical and radiological outcomes were meticulously documented.

    Findings:

    • Ender's nails exhibited excellent mechanical properties in these complex cases.
    • The fixation device proved effective for the atypical subtrochanteric fractures.
    • Successful clinical and radiological results were achieved.

    Implications:

    • Ender's nails offer a valuable alternative to rigid osteosynthesis for complex subtrochanteric fractures.
    • This approach may improve patient outcomes in challenging fracture scenarios.
    • Further investigation into Ender's nail utility for complex femur fractures is warranted.
