DOI: 10.4055/cios21027
Abstract: Background Most isolated greater trochanter (IGT) fractures are treated conservatively. However, some require surgical fixation although indications for surgery have not yet been established. Many surgeons perform surgical fixation when the intertrochanteric extension crosses the… read more here.

DOI: 10.4055/cios21058
Abstract: Background Incomplete fractures are assumed to occur in the intertrochanteric area as fractures at other sites, but reports of incomplete intertrochanteric fractures (IIFs) are rare. In 1999, Schultz et al. defined isolated greater trochanter fractures… read more here.
