Mechanical failure after locking plate fixation of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:External fixator pins are thought to have improved pullout strength if inserted into both cortices and if pilot holes are drilled. We tested these hypotheses and investigated effects of osteoporosis and pin location on pin pullout strength. METHODS:Self-drilling external fixator pins were inserted using 4 t...
