title: Intertrochanteric femoral fractures: a new method for predicting the risk of failure.
abstract: A consecutive series of intertrochanteric fractures treated with sliding screw and plate fixation were radiographically evaluated for the optimal position of the screw. An optimal position was determined. It was characterized by four position indexes in the head-neck region.
