Abstract
Intertrochanteric fractures are a common type of proximal femoral fracture, and account for high morbidity and mortality. Early recognition and management of such fractures is important, with surgery preferably undertaken within 48 hours. The choice of surgical strategy remains variable between centres and individual surgeons; in part because evidence to support a specific strategy has been weak. Herein, we provide the latest evidence on the management of these fractures.
期刊介绍:
Orthopaedics and Trauma presents a unique collection of International review articles summarizing the current state of knowledge and research in orthopaedics. Each issue focuses on a specific topic, discussed in depth in a mini-symposium; other articles cover the areas of basic science, medicine, children/adults, trauma, imaging and historical review. There is also an annotation, self-assessment questions and a second opinion section. In this way the entire postgraduate syllabus will be covered in a 4-year cycle.
