Abstract:BACKGROUND There is no consensus about the best option of internal fixation for unstable intertrochanteric fractures of femur. This study aimed to evaluate the treatment effects of contra-lateral reverse distal femoral locking compression plates in unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures as a viable alternative to intramedullary devices. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 30 cases with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures were treated with contra-lateral reverse distal femoral locking compression pl… Show more
