subtrochanteric femur fracture radiographic definition AO Foundation

The X-ray most likely shows a displaced subtrochanteric fracture of the left femur. It appears to be a proximal femoral shaft fracture just below the trochanters, with a short-oblique/comminuted pattern and displacement.
This needs urgent orthopedic assessment for definitive fixation, often with a cephalomedullary intramedullary nail. A formal radiology report and full hip/femur views are needed to confirm the exact classification and exclude an associated intertrochanteric component.
