Reducing the Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures in a closed manner is challenging especially in the old and aged people with co morbidities. We provide a simple reducing aid to achieve the fracture reduction.

It will also facilitate in the better rehabilitation of the patient with minimal morbidity and offer a good radiographic view.
