Hip fractures can occur either due to a break in the femoral neck, in the area between the greater and lesser trochanter or below the lesser trochanter. Subtrochanteric hip fracture is a break between the lesser trochanter and the area approximately 5 centimeters below the lesser trochanter.
Subtrochanteric (ST) femur fractures are defined as fractures of the proximal femur that occur within 5 cm of the lesser trochanter. 1. Overall, the incidence of these fractures has been estimated to be approximately 15–20 per 100,000 individuals.

Typically, isolated greater trochanteric fractures can be treated non-operatively. However fractures occurring between the greater and lesser trochanters, called Intertrochanteric Fractures do require surgery, as do fractures occurring below the trochanters known as Subtrochanteric Fractures.
Subtrochanteric fractures often are associated with intertrochanteric fractures. The strong gluteal and thigh muscles create a classic deformity. The proximal fragment is held in abduction, flexion, and external rotation. The gluteus medius and minimus attach at the greater trochanter and provide an abduction force.
The subtrochanteric region of the femur, arbitrarily designated as the region between the lesser trochanter and a point 5 cm distal, consists primarily of cortical bone. The femoral head and neck are anteverted approximately 13º with respect to the plane of the femoral shaft.
Patients with intertrochanteric fractures tend to have more pointed and longer osteophytes compared to those with femoral neck fractures, which can lead to an increased CEA on radiographs of the pelvis or hip joint.
Atypical femoral fracture is an uncommon complication of long-term use of bisphosphonates. Atypical femoral fractures are stress or insufficency fractures occurring in the femoral shaft. Prodomal thigh or groin pain may occur before fracture. Atypical femoral fracture may first present as an incomplete fracture.
Cephalomedullary nailing is the surgical stabilization of the fracture with an intramedullary device usually inserted through the piriformis fossa, the tip or lateral greater trochanter, or the medial greater trochanter.
The femoral neck is the most common location for a hip fracture, accounting for 45% to 53% of hip fractures. Per 100,000 person years, approximately 27.7 femoral neck fractures occur in men and 63.3 occur in women.
Patients with intertrochanteric fractures tend to have more pointed and longer osteophytes compared to those with femoral neck fractures, which can lead to an increased CEA on radiographs of the pelvis or hip joint.
Limited mobility: Most people with a hip fracture can't stand or walk. Sometimes, it may be possible to walk, but it's extremely painful to put weight on the leg. Physical changes: You may have a bruise on your hip.
The long, straight part of the femur is called the femoral shaft. When there is a break anywhere along this length of bone, it is called a femoral shaft fracture. This type of broken leg almost always requires surgery to heal. The femoral shaft runs from below the hip to where the bone begins to widen at the knee.
