Long-term outcomes of distal locking in extracapsular fractures treated with trochanteric Gamma3 nails
Abstract Background Few publications have assessed long-term results of distal locking of short endomedullary nails for extracapsular hip fracture. Virtually all of them focus on immediate differences. Criteria for the use of static or dynamic locking are unclear in most nailing systems, and use is...
