Trochanteric nails for the reduction of intertrochanteric fractures: a biomechanical analysis based on finite element analysis and dic system

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Ming-Tzu Tsai from the Conclusion We found that in the case of space reduction, the force is transmitted by the trochanteric nail, resulting in a greater stress on the trochanteric nail system or femurIn the case of closed reduction, we found some smaller stress values on the trochanteric nail system or on the femur. In the case of unstable fracture reduction, the contact area of closed reduction at the fracture site is small. Consequently, the femur and the trochanteric nail system would receive a greater stress. Thus, we propose that when the trochanteric nail is . . .
