HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Jixing Fan and collaborators from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the research: Evaluation of femoral head bone quality by Hounsfield units: A predictor of implant failure for intertrochanteric fractures after intramedullary nail fixation, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of December/31,/2018
