Proposal of a modified tip apex distance for prediction of lag screw cut-out in trochanteric hip fractures

Proposal of a modified tip apex distance for prediction of lag screw cut-out in trochanteric hip fractures

Introduction: Lag screw cut-out is a serious complication of dynamic hip screw fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The lag screw position has been acknowledged as one of the important factors affecting the lag screw cut-out. We propose a modification of the Tip Apex Distance (TAD) and hypothesis...
