Abstract
Hip fractures are of great interest worldwide as the geriatric population continues to increase rapidly. Currently, surgeons prefer to use cephalomedullary nail for internal fixation of pertrochanteric/intertrochanteric fractures. This article summarizes 10 concepts in hip fracture treatment over the past 20 years, including fracture line mapping, proximal lateral wall and anterior cortex, posteromedial lesser trochanter-calcar fragment, anteromedial cortex support reduction, changes of fracture reduction after sliding and secondary stability, nail entry point and wedge-open deformity, tip-apex distance and calcar-referenced tip-apex distance, femoral anterior bowing and nail modification, long nails for wide medullary canal and large posterior coronal fragment, and postoperative stability score.
