The subtrochanteric fractures is a difficult fracture for even the most skilled of surgeons. 41-year-old male with a history of a road traffic accident experienced a proximal to mid-shaft femur fracture, which was treated initially with a dynamic screw plate and with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) and bone grafting. Despite surgery, the patient remained dependent on a walker and developed increasing pain during ambulation. Xray showed atrophic non-union. A revision surgery was undertaken.
