The effects of distal interlocking screws on torsional stability in three-part intertrochanteric hip fractures

OBJECTIVE: Many surgeons currently use long cephomedullary nails for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. The optimal indications for deploying distal interlocks are still debatable. This study examined the torsional biomechanical properties of 3-part intertrochanteric femur fractures in a...
