Impact of operative position on rotational alignment after intramedullary nailing of trochanteric fractures: a comparative analysis of lateral decubitus versus supine position
Intramedullary nailing in the LD position is a reliable and practical surgical method in the treatment of femoral trochanteric fractures since there is no need for the use of a FT, the surgeon is exposed to less radiation, there is no risk of complications related to the traction of the FT, and there is a shorter operation time.
