Does the Medoff sliding plate with combined dynamic compression improve healing and reduce complications in displaced intertrochanteric fractures?
The Medoff sliding plate with combined dynamic compression demonstrates a high healing rate and low technical failure rate for displaced intertrochanteric fractures.
Lunsjö et al. (1996) studied this question.
