A Critical Analysis of the Eccentric Starting Point for Trochanteric Intramedullary Femoral Nailing (Visit Resource)

OTA Poster 2004
The purpose of this study was to look at specific trochanteric entry sites to examine whether there is a "perfect" universal starting point. In addition, we examined the insertion angle, the trochanteric angle, the proximal bend, and the radius of curvature of four commonly used implants. Three different starting points were employed.
