Trochanteric fracture pattern is associated with increased risk for nonunion independent of open or closed reduction technique

Trochanteric fracture pattern is associated with increased risk for nonunion independent of open or closed reduction technique

Abstract Purpose Soft tissue injury and soft tissue injury as risk factors for nonunion following trochanteric femur fractures (TFF) are marginally investigated. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for impaired fracture healing in geriatric trauma patients with TFF following surgical...
