Abstract
Pediatric intertrochanteric fractures don’t occur usually, resulting from high-energy trauma. Historically, these injuries were treated conservatively with casting, but complications such as osteonecrosis, growth arrest, and coxavara were higher when treated with conservative methods such as casting. Hence a good anatomical reduction with internal fixation within a day from the time of injury has become primary objective in treating these injuries.
