Most intertrochanteric fractures can be treated successfully with internal fixation. Nevertheless, in a small percentage of patients, the fracture fails to heal. The two mains treatment options are internal fixation of the ununited fracture or salvage treatment with a hip arthroplasty. We pre- sent one case of each treatment. Case 1: female 69 years old with intertrochanteric fracture treated by cephalomedullary internal fixation system, ten months later the fracture didn ́t heal. She was re-operated with same internal fixation system without fracture exposure and fracture healed. Case 2: male 43 years old with intertrochanteric fracture treated with cepa- lomedullary system, 16 months later it was ununited. It was salvaged with hybrid total hip arthroplasty.
