Key result
Treatment with a sliding screw-plate device allowed controlled collapse of major fragments while maintaining the neck-shaft angle in 54 unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
Why the study?
Does a sliding screw-plate device maintain stability in unstable intertrochanteric fractures?

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant caution with sliding screw-plates in unstable fractures; hypothesis-generating for mechanism-specific device refinements.
Flores et al. (1990) conducted an observational in Unstable intertrochanteric fractures (n=54). Sliding screw-plate device was evaluated on Linear and angular displacements. Treatment with a sliding screw-plate device allowed controlled collapse of major fragments while maintaining the neck-shaft angle in 54 unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
