Background: Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures are usually complicated withassociated co-morbidities like osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, renal failure. In suchcircumstances, nonoperative treatment is mainly reserved for poor medical candidates and non-ambulantpatients with minimal discomfort after fracture. Objective: To study the management of intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation-II. Material and Methods: Present study was conducted on the patients admitted in at BTGH attached to MR medical college, Kalburgi &Shri B M Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapura,with diagnosis of intertrochanteric fractures from October 2017 to April 2019. A total of 21 cases were taken in our study. Results: Majority of the cases i.e., 12(60%) were in the age group of 61- 80 years, followed by 3 cases in the age group 41-60 years. The mean age was 69years. Majority of the patients were males 13 (65%) and 7 (35%) were females. We took less number of exposures time in case of comminuted fractures where reduction was not a problem. Blood loss was more in open reductions. The HARRIS HIP SCORE grading was done and 2 patients were graded excellent, 16 as good, 2 as fair and none as poor.
