Biomechanical Evaluation of Extramedullary Versus Intramedullary Reduction in Unstable Femoral Trochanteric Fractures
Introduction: The failure rate of operations involving the cephalomedullary nail technique for unstable femoral trochanteric fractures is 3-12%. Changing the reduction strategy may improve the stability. This study aimed to confirm whether reducing the proximal fragment with the medial calcar contac...
