Lesser Trochanter Migration following Intramedullary Fixation of an Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture
Intertrochanteric femur fractures are commonly observed in the elderly and may be associated with a complete fracture of the lesser trochanter in over 50% of cases. The migration of the lesser trochanter secondary to the psoas muscle contracture is a rare event. This case report presents a rare case...
