The study was conducted on 55 patients (39 males and 16 females) with 56 trochanteric hip fractures related to surgical treatment trauma. These patients were treated by internal bone fixation using angle splint in Orthopedic Department of Viet- Duc Hospital from 1/2000 - 12/2001. Good and very good outcomes were reached in 82% of patients, 14% of patients had moderate and 4% had poor outcomes. Mass angle splints were used for intertrochanteric fractures Unstable intertrochanteric fractures, trochanteric fracture with femoral neck fracture line, intertrochanteric fractures with multiple fractures in 1/3 above and 1/3 below of ipsilateral femoral bone. Intertrochanteric fractures occurred in any patient with quick movement prior event. Inter- and inferior trochanteric fractures occurred with two points. DHS is applied with most efficiency. Internal bone fixation using angle splint for intertrochanteric fractures was the most effective method. There were no complication in terms of vascular obstruction related to fat and heart failure. Setting a broken bone wass carried out in surgical position and fixed by angle splints. Separated pieces in backside and inside can be rearranged under the surgery and fixed by soft screws. Rehabilitation and follow-up exammination was needed after surgery.
