Relationship between anterior fracture line location and rotational instability during inserting lag screw of cephalomedullary nail in intertrochanteric femoral fracture.

BACKGROUND: Rotational instability of the proximal fragment in intertrochanteric femoral fractures increases the risk of fixation failure. However, most prior research has focused on the analysis of bony structures. To confirm the characteristics of…
