The trial included patients with unstable trochanteric (three or four parts fractures, AO type A2, Evans unstable Type 1). Additional inclusion criteria were as follows: age more than 65 years, walking with or without support, less than 72 hours between the fracture and surgery, and signed informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria

2) transtrochanteric fractures with a transverse of reversed/oblique fracture line at the level of the lesser trochanter (AO type A3, Evans Type 2)
3) pathological fractures related to tumors and subtrochanteric fractures;
4) tip-apex distance (TAD) > 18 mm
5) limited ability to perform objective functional tests (dementia, serious concomitant illness or mental instability, or neurosensory, neuromuscular or musculoskeletal deficiency
6) soft-tissue infection at the operation site
7) concurrent fractures that would affect the post-operative functional outcome.
