Abstract
To introduce the concept of fracture reduction with positive medial cortical support proximal femoral nail and its clinical and radiological correlation in intertrochanteric fractures.This study included 90 patients of proximal femur fracture admitted in our institute. The patients were informed about the study in all aspects and informed consent was obtained from each patient. The positive cortex support was defined as the medial cortex of the head‐neck fragment displaced and located a little bit superomedially to the medial cortex of the shaft. Results were evaluated using the Harris Hip Score. We had 45(50%) excellent, 31(34.44%) good, 12(17.8%) fair and 2(2.22%) poor results. Fracture reduction with nonanatomic positive medial cortical support allows limited sliding of the head‐neck fragment to contact with the femur shaft and achieve secondary stability, providing a good mechanical environment for fracture healing.
