This study emphasizes the importance of an optimal position of reduction in the lateral projection in reducing the risk of cut-out failure. In addition, sex difference in bone mineral density, proximal femur geometry, and the bone strength in elderly females may explain why female sex is a risk factor.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
