A total of 26 patients with closed subtrochanteric fracture fixed with dynamic condylar screw were assessed radiologically between 20 to 60 years<br>of age after acute trauma within two weeks. We followed all patients at two weeks' interval for 1st month and after one month till nine months post-operatively at four weeks interval. We assessed all patients till last follow up for radiological union, implant failure and range of motion of hip joint using Modified Harris Hip<br>score.<br>Results: Out of 26 patients, 18 (69.23%) were males and 08 (30.8%) were females. Median age was 37.5-year and inter-quartile range was 16.50. At the end of the study, were 25 (96.15%) fracture united but 01 (3.85%) developed non-union. These non-union was associated with implant failure. The implant failure was<br>observed between 3rd to 5th months. </p> <p>Conclusion: We concluded that fixation of sub-trochanteric fractures of femur with dynamic condylar screw can be treated efficiently in terms of fracture union.</p>}, number={4}, journal={Annals of King Edward Medical University}, author={Mirza, Muhammad Iqbal and Gillani, Syed Faraz Ul Hassan Shah and Raza, Javed Hassan and Nadeem, Rana Dilawaiz}, year={2019}, month={Jan.} }
