Augmentation of intramedullary nailing in unstable intertrochanteric fractures using cerclage wire and lag screws: A comparative study
Injury Aug 17, 2017
Kulkarni SG, et al. – In this study, the researchers show a technique of lateral wall and trochanteric reconstruction using Cerclage wires and lag screws in the greater trochanter in addition to intramedullary nailing, and the radiological and functional outcome of this technique of augmentation. In unstable trochanteric fractures, this new technique of augmentation of fixation of an intramedullary nail using cerclage wires and lag screws for lateral wall reconstruction is useful in reducing complications of the procedure and provides good radiological and functional outcome. It requires little extra operating time with minimal blood loss and soft tissue injury.
