  Purpose: Intertrochanteric fractures of proximal femur are commonly encountered in elderly individuals due to porotic and weak bones. Surgical management such as dynamic hip screw, gamma nail, condylar plates are routinely used but the outcome is very poor. In this backdrop, the present study was carried out to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome of Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Methods: A prospective study was carried on 45 patients with stable intertrochanteric fractures visiting our hospital for a period of two years. The patients were surgical treated PFN and subsequent follow was done upto a period of 3 months.
