Subtrochanteric fractures: Fielding classification

Discussion:

Fielding classification of subtrochanteric fractures is based on the level of the subtrochanteric region through which the fracture extends. 

  • type I: at the level of the lesser trochanter (most common)
  • type II: within the region 2.5 cm below the lesser trochanter
  • type III: within the region 2.5 cm to 5 cm below the lesser trochanter (least common)
