Popis: Trochanteric region of the femur is that part which connects the neck and shaft of femur. So head, neck, trochanter facilitates the movement at the hip joint causing the limbs to swing clear of the pelvis. Intertrochanteric fractures are divided into stable and unstable varieties. To assess the Comparison of functional outcome like range of motion of hip after fixation of trochanteric fracture with dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral locking compression plate (PF-LCP) the present prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted in the Department of Orthopedic, National Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedic Rehabilitation (NITOR) between January 2009 to December 2010. A total of 20 patients with post traumatic trochanteric fractures and osteoporotic fractures within three weeks of incidence were included in the study. The age distribution of the patients was identical between the groups with mean age of the patients being 56.2 and 55.6 years in DHS and PF-LCP groups respectively (p=0.626). Males were predominant in both groups (each of 70%). In both groups fractures were primarily caused by RTA (60% in DHS and 50% in PF-LCP) (p=0.327) with all patients having closed type of injury. Sixty percent of the injuries in each group had right-sided involvement. (p = 0.675). All patients of either group required open surgical procedure. DHS required shorter operation time than that required by PF-LCP (72.5±5.4 min vs. 96.5±3.3 min. p
