Reliability of lateral wall-thickness measurement in trochanteric fractures and parameters associated with lateral wall integrity

CONCLUSION: Some of the parameters related to trochanteric fractures are associated with lateral wall incompetence. Lateral wall-thickness measurement is a reproducible method, which has been suggested for use by the AO/OTA 2018 classification. It is easy to use and can help select the appropriate treatment for intertrochanteric fracture patients.PMID:38515632 | PMC:PMC10954081 | DOI:10.2478/abm-2024-0005
