Pre fixation compression screw as a cutting-edge technique for varus correction during proximal femoral nailing for intertrochanteric fractures: A study on 46 cases
Abstract:Background: Achieving reduction prior to fixation is a key aspect in successfully managing intertrochanteric fractures. In this study of proximal femoral nailing for intertrochanteric fractures, a novel technique of utilizing pre-fixation compression screw was introduced to achieve and maintain reduction of femoral neck shaft angle. Materials and Methods: The current prospective study was conducted over a period of six months between July 2018 and January 2019 among patients who underwent surgical fixation by … Show more
