The “double-intra” pertrochanteric femur fracture: an irreducible and redisplaceable fracture pattern
The "double-intra" pattern is a specific irreducible PFF with difficulty in reduction and proneness to redisplacement perioperatively and postoperatively. Achieving a "double-positive" alignment of the anteromedial cortex and using temporary K-wire fixation as a routine procedure before nailing is essential to prevent reduction loss and improve the likelihood of maintaining the AMCS.
