    Traction images heavily influence lateral wall measurement in trochanteric hip fractures. A prospective study
    (2023) Carmona, Maximiliano; Gonzalez, Nicolas; Segovia, Javier; de Amesti, Martin; Zamora, Tomas; Schweitzer, Daniel
    Introduction: hip fracture represents a global health problem, with a high morbidity and mortality rate and an increasing incidence. The treatment of trochanteric fractures is reduction and osteosynthesis, and implant selection depends mainly on the stability of the fracture and lateral wall competence. Lateral wall competence has gained relevance in recent years, which led to the modification of the AO/OTA classification. However, determination of lateral wall integrity is difficult from plain radiographs; the influence of images with traction on its measurement has not been evaluated.
