ORS 2024 Annual Meeting Paper No. 841

SIGNIFICANCE/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Clinically, the enhanced ability of Group B to resist femoral neck shortening may prevent poor alignment, hardware prominence, postoperative pain, gait disturbance and lower the risk for avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Maintaining femoral head rotation can reduce the risk of femoral neck shortening, gait disturbance and avascular necrosis of the femoral head.
