Methods One hundred and three cases of femoral peritrochanteric fracture underwent operation were studied retrospectively. According to AO classification, the cases of each type were treated by four methods of internal fixation: the cannulated compression screw, dynamic hip screw (DHS), anatomical plate and proximal femoral nail (PFN). Results All patients were followed up from 6 to 40 months. All fractures were healed. Complications occurred in 9 patients, including aseptic necrosis of the femoral head in 2, coax magna in 7.
