Rationale for change

AMBOSS states that " Definitive surgical treatment is indicated for active, independent patients. First-line surgical treatment for a stable intertrochanteric fracture is internal fixation using either an intramedullary nail or a dynamic hip screw.
Femoral fractures are only considered a surgical emergency if there is vascular compromise, which is limb-threatening. This patient does not require emergent surgery."

via intramedullary nail or dynamic hip screw

- The necessary immobilization for this procedure can increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli, so post-operative anticoagulation is recommended
