AbstractThe intertrochanteric fracture is a common fragility fracture typically resulting from low-energy falls. The functional outcome of intertrochanteric fractures is closely linked to the patient's underlying physical condition, intraoperative procedures, and postoperative complications. In terms of surgery, while timely surgery and appropriate internal fixation have demonstrated favorable outcomes, attention to intraoperative reduction is crucial. In recent years, there have been further developments in the evaluation of reduction of intertrochanteric fractures, particularly in the anteromedial cortical reduction, and these advances have been further scientifically elucidated in terms of their ability to provide stable fracture reduction and resist loss of reduction. In order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the anteromedial cortex theory, this article reviewed the anatomy, related theoretical progress, and controversies in recent years.Copyright © 2024.
