Relative lateral wall thickness is an improved predictor for postoperative lateral wall fracture after trochanteric femoral fracture osteosynthesis

Abstract Lateral wall thickness is a known predictor for postoperative stability of trochanteric femoral fractures and occurrence of secondary lateral wall fractures. Currently, the AO/OTA classification relies on the absolute lateral wall thickness (aLWT) to distinguish between stable A1.3 and unst...
