Intramedullary Fixation of Unstable Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures

Abstract: The two constructs showed equivalent rigidity and stability in all parameters assessed in elastic and cyclical tests. The TAN had a greater ultimate failure load.

“…Due to the smaller diameter lag screws in these intramedullary nails, the proximal aspects of the nail do not need to be flared to prevent mechanical failure of the nail and hence requires less reaming of the proximal femur, thereby reducing the risk of iatrogenic proximal femoral fracture. 7 In our study, both intra-operatively and postoperatively, there were no instances of femoral shaft fractures or extension of the original fracture. This was similar to the findings of Saudan et al 2 in their series.…”
