Summary

Proximal femoral fracture is associated with severe morbidity and mortality and high socioeconomic costs. The main mechanical complication of internal fixation in trochanteric fracture is lag-screw cut-out through the femoral head. Several factors are involved, but remain controversial. The aim of the present study was to determine risk factors for cut-out in internal fixation of extracapsular proximal femoral fracture.
