Highly comminutive proximal femur fractures in yo-ung healthy adults often occur after high energy trau-ma, such as traffic accidents[1].
The classification of fracture type poses a difficulty, as highly comminuted fractures don’t necessarily respect the anatomical regions of the proximal femur, but rather affect the area as a whole[2,3]. [...]

Fractures of the proximal femur are some of the most commonly encountered fracture types, especially when talking about elderly patient[1,2]. Apart from the immediate impact on the patient’s health, a more problematic issue is the impact on the quality of life, especially when talking about geriatric patients[3]. Early surgical treatment, combined with early discharge from hospital and a well-tailored rehabilitation program are mandatory for assuring a quick recovery of the patient’s autonomy. It is estimated that every person over the age of 65 has a 10% chance to fall once per year, with the possibility of contracting a proximal femur fracture. [...]
