Summary

This study is designed to compare two positions in the management of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures. It's to compare the traditional supine position using a traction table and lateral decubitus. This study is designed to Compare between The accuracy of reduction In both methods, in addition,the radiological exposure and other secondary outcomes, like the blood loss, are compared.

Detailed description

To compare the fluoroscopic exposure time, quality of radiographic reduction, intra operative blood loss, setup time and surgical time between the lateral decubitus position and the use of a traction table in supine position in fixation of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures by proximal femoral nail.

Conditions

• Unstable Intertrochanteric Fracture

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	lateral decubitus postion during proximal femoral nailing for unstable intertrochnateric femur fractures	different positions of the patient during the surgery
PROCEDURE	Proximal femoral nailing for unstable intertrochnateric femur fractures in supine psoition using traction table	different positions for the proximal femoral nailing
