Femoral malrotation after trochanteric fracture nailing: what is the safety zone of limb rotation during closed reduction?
Our findings underscore the significant risk of femoral malrotation associated with perioperative rotations beyond 20°, emphasizing the need for precise rotational control during surgery. Excessive rotation on the traction table in an attempt to achieve better fracture alignment significantly increases the risk of femoral malrotation.
