DOI: 10.1007/s00068-020-01549-0
Abstract: Hemiarthroplasty is widely accepted as the treatment of choice in elderly patients with a displaced intracapsular femoral neck fracture. Intraoperative greater trochanteric fractures thwart this successful procedure, resulting in prolonged recovery, inferior outcome, and increased… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00264-021-05282-0
Abstract: Purpose Intramedullary nailing is the standard treatment of trochanteric fractures. Mechanical failure such as cut-out and cut-through are associated with high rates of revision surgery, functional impairment, and mortality. The aim of the study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2017.05.042
Abstract: OBJECTIVES The optimum treatment with intramedullary nails (IMN) or sliding hip screws (SHS) for type 31-A2 trochanteric fractures remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to compare IMN with SHS… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2019.04.018
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.

DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2023.1044941
Abstract: Background Trochanteric fractures usually require surgical treatment. The currently used classification system, such as AO classification, cannot cover all variant types, and is poor in reliability, causing confusion in surgical decision making. This study describes… read more here.
