Biomechanical Comparison of Three Different Intramedullary Nails for Fixation of Unstable Basicervical Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Proximal Femur: Experimental Studies

<div>Unstable basicervical intertrochanteric fracture model fixed with a CMN. The main fracture line is located at the base of femoral neck and a uniformly-sized posteromedial fragment including the lesser trochanter is removed by an engraving machine based on a designed drawing on each specimen.</div>
