Failure after intramedullary nailing for geriatric trochanteric fracture: does quality of fracture reduction on the AP and lateral planes show the same results?

Poor reduction such as type P reduction was associated with failure after intramedullary nailing for trochanteric fractures. Surgeons should check the quality of fracture reduction carefully with the proper fluoroscopic view to prevent failure in geriatric patients with trochanteric fractures.
