Examines treatment alignment with AO/OTA classification in femoral fractures, suggesting improved management strategies.
Although AO/OTA subclassification significantly influences treatment choice, fracture morphology alone is insufficient for determining management. PFN remains preferred across fracture types, while non-operative care is suitable for high-risk patients. Future models should integrate frailty, bone quality, and functional status.
