The introduction of the Zickel nail has provided a significant advance in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The device allows early mobilization and a high rate of union. In a 24-year-old man, the device was used bilaterally for subtrochanteric fractures, thus obviating the need for prolonged hospitalization and promoting early ambulation, and return to work. It must be emphasized that a bilateral operation for subtrochanteric fracture is a formidable procedure but can be accomplished in an otherwise healthy individual.
Zickel钉的引入为股骨转子下骨折的治疗带来了重大进展。该装置允许早期活动并具有较高的愈合率。在一名24岁男性中，该装置双侧用于股骨转子下骨折，从而避免了长期住院的需要，并促进了早期行走和恢复工作。必须强调的是，双侧股骨转子下骨折手术是一项艰巨的手术，但在其他方面健康的个体中是可以完成的。
