There are two types of surgical treatment for intertrochanteric fractures: first, internal fixation with a Gamma nail, which allows for early mobility, and when the drainage tube is removed about three days after surgery and the wound is relatively stable, you can start to walk and function with a walker. Secondly, DHS internal fixation is not as firm, so you have to wait until the fracture has completely healed clinically before you can walk and do functional exercises, which takes about eight weeks, and you have to review the X-ray film eight weeks after the surgery. If you see any fracture line blurring or bone scab growth, you will be able to walk on the ground.
