Intramedullary nailing is a mainstay in the treatment of subtrochanteric femoral fractures. But nailing is often unsuitable for difficult fracture patterns with comminution or when the medullary canal is narrow. The purpose of this study was to clarify the efficacy of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) with locking compression plate in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures.
