Abstract
Although avulsion fractures of greater and lesser trochanters rarely develop in hip fractures, avulsion fracture of short external rotators has not reported still online literature. Moreover, avulsion fracture of short external rotators can simulate the intertrochanteric fracture, and is difficult to differentiate from it on plain radiograph. This study is on the case 74-year old male patient who had avulsion fracture of short external rotators, and had the internal fixation with wire by open reduction under the diagnosis of the intertrochanteric fracture.
