Clinical Outcomes of Intramedullary and Extramedullary Fixation in Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Randomized Clinical Trial

摘要

The best method for repairing intertrochanteric fractures is still controversial. The fixation methods include extramedullary (EM) and intramedullary (IM). Studies that compare IM and EM fixations for unstable hip fractures are rare. In this study, our goal was to compare the efficacy of EM and IM fixation in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
