Application of the reversed LISS-DF technique in an elderly patient to salvage infection-related failure of trochanteric fracture fixation

Application of the reversed LISS-DF technique in an elderly patient to salvage infection-related failure of trochanteric fracture fixation

Failure of cephalomedullary fixation in geriatric trochanteric fractures is a potential complication. Attempts have been made to optimize the implant fixation (e. g. cement augmentation) and several factors (e. g. malreduction, tip apex distance) have been identified as risk factors for failure. Nev...
