STRATEGIES FOR FIXATION IN THIN LATERAL CORTEX OF INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMORAL FRACTURES: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW

Аннотация

This comprehensive review explores various fixation strategies tailored for addressing fractures with a thin lateral cortex in the intertrochanteric region of the femur. Intertrochanteric femoral fractures present unique challenges, particularly when the lateral cortex is thin or compromised. The study examines and synthesizes existing literature on fixation modalities, considering both biomechanical principles and clinical outcomes. Strategies such as cephalomedullary nails, dynamic hip screws, and augmented fixation techniques are scrutinized to provide a comprehensive understanding of their efficacy and limitations. By amalgamating diverse perspectives, this review aims to guide orthopedic practitioners in selecting optimal fixation methods for intertrochanteric femoral fractures with a thin lateral cortex. KEYWORDS Intertrochanteric femoral fractures, thin lateral cortex, fixation modalities, cephalomedullary nails, dynamic hip screws, augmented fixation, orthopedic surgery, biomechanical considerations, clinical outcomes, fracture management.
