Morphology of the Greater Trochanter: An Assessment of Anatomic Variation and Canal Overhang

Background: Varus malposition is a risk of early failure in total hip arthroplasty. The degree to which the tip of the greater trochanter (GT) overhangs the canal can increase this risk. Although we know proximal femoral anatomy is variable, no study has addressed variations in medial overhang of th...
