High failure rate of proximal femoral locking plates in fixation of trochanteric fractures

High failure rate of proximal femoral locking plates in fixation of trochanteric fractures

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to report our previous results of treatments for trochanteric fractures with proximal femoral locking plates (PFLP) and to analyze the underlying mechanisms and possible risk factors associated with the high failure rate of this technique. Methods From J...
