Subtrochanteric (ST) femur fractures are proximal femur fractures, which are often difficult to
manage effectively because of their deforming anatomical forces. Operative management of …

Objective: To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of subtrochanteric femur
fractures treated with an intramedullary nail, augmented with or without cerclage wiring …

Introduction Nonunion is a common complication after intramedullary nailing of
subtrochanteric femoral fractures. A more detailed knowledge, particularly of avoidable risk …

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess functional and radiological results following
cephalomedullary nailing with and without use of auxiliary cable cerclages in a large series …

Introduction Subtrochanteric fractures are more difficult to treat than other proximal femoral
fractures. The aim of this study was to report the outcomes for patients with subtrochanteric …

Due to the instability of unstable intertrochanteric fractures, the selection of a suitable
internal fixation has always been a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. This study is aimed at …

fixation of unstable intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. Methods Patients were …

Background Hip fractures are a major public health problem worldwide and can lead to
disability, increased mortality, and reduced quality of life. We aim to provide a nationwide …

Background Subtrochanteric femur fractures (SFF) are uncommon, but have a high
complication rate concerning non-union and mechanical complications. There is ongoing …

Cerclage wire is an effective fracture fixation method. However, its mechanical benefits are
countered by local ischemia. Its efficacy for treating femoral periprosthetic fractures has been …
