    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Traumatology
    • Bone fracture management

    Background:

    • Intertrochanteric hip fractures are common, particularly in elderly patients.
    • Effective treatment is crucial for patient mobility and recovery.
    • Traditional methods may have limitations in specific patient populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ender nail fixation for intertrochanteric hip fractures.
    • To assess the suitability of Ender nails in various patient groups, including the critically ill.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort of fifty patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures were treated.
    • The study involved the application of Ender nails for fracture fixation.
    • Surgical simplicity and patient outcomes were primary considerations.

    Main Results:

    • The Ender nail technique demonstrated simplicity in its operative approach.
    • Early bone healing was observed in the treated patients.
    • Low rates of morbidity and mortality were reported, indicating a favorable safety profile.

    Conclusions:

    • Ender nail fixation is a highly suitable method for treating stable intertrochanteric hip fractures.
    • The procedure is particularly advantageous for critically ill patients due to its low complication rates.
    • The technique's simplicity and effectiveness support its use in specific orthopedic trauma cases.
