Orthopaedic surgeons should keep in mind that lateral cortex comminution brings further instability to these reverse oblique intertrochanteric osteoporotic fractures and high rates of failure may be encountered due to this instability. PFLP fixation may be an alternative fixation method biomechanically for these instable fractures.
