Abstract:
Percutaneous compression plating was developed after thorough consideration of each stage in the surgical procedure for intertrochanteric fractures and the ways in which they might be improved. This system represents a minimally invasive method of fracture stabilization and fixation, providing enhanced rotational stability and bone sparing, which reduces both peri- and postoperative complications including cut outs and fracture collapse.
