- Purpose
This study examined the effect of lag screw insertion on proximal fragments by separating the right and left sides of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients that underwent intramedullary nailing.
Materials and Methods
Patients aged ≥65 years that underwent intramedullary nailing after a diag-nosis of intertrochanteric fractures during the period February 2012 to May 2016 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into right and left side groups. The effect of the clockwise rotational force generated when a lag screw was inserted on the proximal fragment was evaluated in both groups.
Results
In the right and left groups, most proximal fragments were located in the intramedullary canal after surgery (45 cases [75.0%] and 67 cases [73.6%], respectively). Clockwise rotation due to lag screw placement in the right group occurred in two cases (3.3%), which both showed internal rotation, and in four cases (4.4%) in the left group, all of which showed external rotation.
Conclusion
After intramedullary nailing of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients, proximal fragments were mostly located in the intramedullary cavity. The results obtained confirmed that the clockwise rotational force generated by lag screw insertion did not affect left or right sides.

Abstract
PDF
- Atypical femoral fracture related to a long-term bisphosphonate therapy has commonly been reported; however, a fracture at the site other than the femur has rarely been reported to date. Herein, we report a case of a patient on long-term bisphosphonate therapy who presented atypical tibial insufficiency fracture at the anterolateral aspect of diaphysis, without trauma. We, for the first time in Korea, present this case with a literature review.
