Flexible reamer use to overcome entry point errors in proximal femoral nail application in severe obese intertrochanteric fracture patients

Abstract Introduction Proximal femoral nailing (PFN) offers biomechanical benefits for intertrochanteric fractures but can lead to higher complication rates from poor reduction and technique errors, particularly in obese patients. Incorrect entry points may cause reduction loss, iatrogenic fractures...
