The use of Ender nail in intertrochanteric fractures supported with external fixation.

Background: Intramedullary Ender nailing in intertrochanteric fractures was very popular in the past. However, this method has fallen in favor over time, due to complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate results with this method and possible ways to prevent these complications, including the use of unilateral fixators to support the Ender nails.
