Description
Complex pertrochanteric femoral fractures (CPTFF) are common and complicated with osteoporosis, short segment fixation, muscle pull, and bone comminution/loss. We describe predictable and successful plating and nailing tips and trips with cases. Furthermore, we describe techniques for successful revision of complications especially nail cut out, poor start site, and varus/apex anterior deformity with or without leg length inequality.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will learn how to successfully treat CPTFF with locking plates.
- Participants will learn how to successfully treat CPTFF with intramedullary nails.
- Participants will learn how to successfully treat CPTFF complications such as poor start site and varus/apex anterior deformity with or without leg length inequality.
