Cemented Bipolar arthroplasty is an established method for treatment of comminuted Intertrochanteric fractures. Reconstruction of greater trochanter is an essential technical step to avoid complications like abductor lurch gait.

This gives a stable fixation of greater trochanter and avoids cut out, slippage of implants.
