[The prognostic value of the hip screw position in intertrochanteric fractures].

CONCLUSION: According to recommendations of the TAD-index value, when using dynamic hip screw, it should be 20 mm or lower. The average index value was 18 mm which was equal in the complicated and non-complicated groups. Our study shows that the cut-out is independent from the TAD-index value, thus this recommendation cannot be applied for intramedullary nails. Orv Hetil. 2019; 160(9): 338-342.
