Case of a 73-year-old woman presented at the emergency department with right hip pain after slipping in a convalescent hospital. a A plain radiograph of the right hip shows an isolated greater trochanter fracture. b A bone scan performed 6 days after the trauma reveals that the fracture extended into the intertrochanteric region. c A computed tomography scan shows an isolated greater trochanteric fracture without intertrochanteric extent. d, e Magnetic resonance imaging shows an intertrochanteric fracture that crosses the midline to the medial cortex. f Internal fixation was performed using proximal femoral nail antirotation
