Introduction • Lesser trochanter to 5cm distal
• 10 - 34% of all hip fractures
• Two population groups:
• Older - osteoporotic
• Younger - high energy trauma

Pathoanatomy
• Deforming forces on the proximal fragment:
• Abduction - gluteus medius & gluteus minimus
• Flexion - iliopsoas
• External rotation - short external rotators
• Deforming forces on the distal fragment:
• Adduction & shortening - adductors

Conclusion • The standard sign nail may be used as a fixation method of
subtrochanteric fractures in a resource limited setting
• Reasons from this case series:
• 28% varus deformity
• 14% implant failure
• Fluoroscopy not required
• Implant easily accessible
