The intertrochanteric line approach for irreducible femoral neck fractures: a novel open reduction technique with favorable clinical outcomes
The intertrochanteric line approach is an effective and safe method for IFNF, providing excellent anatomic reduction, capsular decompression, which yields favorable outcomes in combination with the "sandwich mode" bone graft. More importantly, it has a short learning curve that is readily generalizable, while simultaneously minimizing complications, especially AVN and nonunion.
