Finite element analysis of the effect of residual lateral wall volume on postoperative stability in intertrochanteric fractures

Abstract Background Lateral wall fractures represent crucial risk factors for postoperative internal fixation failure in intertrochanteric femoral fractures. However, no consensus exists on the type of lateral wall fracture requiring interventional management. This study aimed to investigate the eff...
