Background: Proximal femoral nailing in communited intertrochanteric fractures is increasingly becoming popular in view of superior biomechanics and prevention of varus collapse associated with ...

Introduction. Subtrochanteric fractures (STF) are a challenging subset of proximal femoral fractures, accounting for approximately 10%–30% of all hip fractures in all different age groups (Zhang et al ...

It has been recognized that one of the most difficult steps in intramedullary nailing of femoral shaft fractures is the distal locking- the insertion of distal transverse interlocking screws, for ...

What is femoral anteversion? Also called hip anteversion, femoral anteversion is a forward (inward) rotation in the femur (thighbone), which connects to the pelvis to form the hip joint. In other ...

Figure 7: The technique of femoral derotation osteotomy, for the left leg; Figure 7A (left): The femur is prepared for an intramedullary nail and the intramedullary saw is inserted. Figure 7B (right): ...

Objective: To quantify rotational displacement following intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric femoral fractures using three-dimensional (3D) CT imaging, analyze associated risk factors, ...
