The fake unlocked femoral nail: A configuration to avoid in stable pertrochanteric femur fractures.
Injury(2018)
Abstract
The occurrence of cut-out and nonunion after cephalomedullary nailing of stable pertrochanteric fractures appear to be correlated to the presence of the cortical impingement. For this reason, the fake unlocked femoral nail with the cortical impingement is a configuration to avoid in stable pertrochanteric femur fractures.
