Abstract
Safe and rigid fixation of a fractured greater trochanter is often very difficult because of osteoporosis of the fragments. The authors propose a new technique using cannulated screws and wires passed through the screws to fix the greater trochanter in arthroplasties performed for peritrochanteric fractures.
