Abstract: The cut-out of the cephalomedullary nail is among the most common post-surgery complications for intertrochanteric fractures. As a risk predictor, a tip-apex distance (TAD) below 25 mm, observed from orthogonal fluoroscopic views, is recommended in… read more here.

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The proximal femur nail anti-rotation (PFNA-II) (Synthes GmbH, Oberdorf, Switzerland) is the most commonly used implant for intramedullary nailing of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in our centre. However, mechanical failure of the bone with respect… read more here.

Abstract: Background Cephalomedullary nails are presently the gold standard in management of unstable trochanteric fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD) is one of the most important factors that determines success or failure of fixation, but was described… read more here.

Abstract: Cut-out is one of the most common mechanical failures in the internal fixation of trochanteric hip fractures. The tip-apex distance (TAD), and the calcar-referenced tip apex distance (CalTAD) are the radiographic parameters that most predict… read more here.

Abstract: Purpose: To test the significance of calcar referenced tip-apex distance (CalTAD) and the length of anti-rotation screw (AR screw) as predictors for failure after biaxial cephalomedullary (CM) nailing of intertrochanteric fractures. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed… read more here.
