Accuracy of detecting burst of the lateral wall in intertrochanteric hip fractures with plain radiographs: Is postoperative CT necessary?

Background: Postoperative burst of the lateral femoral wall is thought to be the main predictor of reoperation for intertrochanteric fractures, which is routinely evaluated using plain radiographs. We retrospectively compared computed tomography (CT) scans and radiographs regarding the ability to de...
