Correlation between femoral offset loss and dynamic hip screw cut-out complications after pertrochanteric fractures: a case–control study

Background Screw–plates disassembly incidence after pertrochanteric fracture (PF) amounts to 1 and 16% among the elderly population. The main occurrence is early cervical screw cut-out. The population at highest risk of disassembly remains difficult to identify. The correlation between femoral offset loss and disassembly occurrence has never been surveyed.
