Abstract：Postoperative X-ray films showed that the fracture healing time was averagely 5.4 months. Al of the fractures were recovered wel that subtrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures and femoral shaft fractures were al healed. There was no fracture displacement, internal fixation loosening and varus deformity. Only one case showed difficulties in nail insertion. Excellence rate of Harris hip functional scores was 88.2%postoperatively. Proximal femoral nail antirotation is a reasonable design, and the helical blade can resist the rotation and stabilize the angle. The proximal femoral nail antirotation has better effects, which is an ideal internal fixation for subtrochanteric femoral fractures.
