Is calcar referenced tip-apex distance a better predicting factor for cutting out in biaxial cephalomedullary nails than tip-apex distance?
Purpose: To test the significance of calcar referenced tip-apex distance (CalTAD) and the length of anti-rotation screw (AR screw) as predictors for failure after biaxial cephalomedullary (CM) nailing of intertrochanteric fractures.
