The Impact of Lesser Trochanter Displacement on Hip Flexor Strength Recovery in Patients With Trochanteric Fracture
Lesser trochanteric displacement in patients with TF resulted in a specific decline in hip flexor strength on the injured side, which persisted until discharge. However, no significant impact on walking ability was observed, likely because of compensatory mechanisms involving other muscles.
