Femoral shaft medialisation and neck-shaft angle in unstable pertrochanteric femoral fractures [PDF]

open access: greenInternational Orthopaedics, 2004
We analysed the time-dependent mean changes in the femoral neck length, neck-shaft angle and hip offset in a randomised study comprising 48 patients who were treated with the dynamic hip screw (DHS) or the proximal femoral nail (PFN) for an unstable intertrochanteric femoral fracture.

Inverse relationship between femoral lateralization and neck-shaft angle is a joint event after intramedullary nailing of per trochanteric fractures

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
This study explored the relationship between femoral lateralization and femoral neck-shaft angle after intramedullary nail (IM) fixation for per trochanteric fractures. 70 patients (AO/OTA 31A1-2) were investigated. Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral X-ray
