Radiographic and clinical outcomes of traumatic subtrochanteric femur fracture fixation and reduction methods
Subtrochanteric fractures treated with open reduction and presence of a plate in the fixation can improve sagittal alignment. Closed/percutaneous reduction decreases surgery duration and estimated blood loss. Regardless of reduction type and implant, adequate reduction, high union rates and successful outcomes are possible. Anatomic reduction and stable fixation are essential in surgical treatment, regardless of approach or implant choice.
