Greater Trochanteric Fixation Using a Cable System for Partial Hip Arthroplasty: A Clinical and Finite Element Analysis
Figure 1
((a), (b), and (c)) Image of a greater trochanteric fracture including the abductor lever arm and the initial fixation at the level of the lesser trochanter. ((d) and (e)) The longer tip of the cable was advanced by a cable passer below the abductor muscle group and above the greater trochanter. ((e), (f), (g), and (h)) Greater trochanteric fracture was left in the reduction position and stretched using the shorter tip of the cable and a cable tensioner. The locking device was then squeezed.
