Fixation of subtrochanteric fracture with proximal femoral locking plate (see text). A, Plate is introduced through proximal wound and advanced distally to the level that allows placement of guide pin just proximal to calcar and in the center of the femoral head on the lateral view. B, Plate is pinned in place proximally and distally once placement has been optimized. C, Locking screw is placed just proximal to calcar. D, Final construct after placement of proximal and distal screws. (Modified from Peri-Loc locked plating system: surgical technique, Memphis, Smith & Nephew, 2011.) SEE TECHNIQUE 55.8.
