Abstract
Percutaneous compression plating was developed after thorough consideration of each stage in the surgical procedure for intertrochanteric fractures and the ways in which they might be improved. This system represents a minimally invasive method of fracture stabilization and fixation, providing enhanced rotational stability and bone sparing, which reduces both peri- and postoperative complications including cut outs and fracture collapse.
