AbstractUnstable intertrochanteric hip fractures are characterized by comminution of the posteromedial cortex, resulting in a fragment of variable size containing the lesser trochanter. Controversy exists as to whether it is necessary to perform reduction and fixation of this fragment. This case lends further support to the practice of fixating the lesser trochanteric fragment in unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
