Anteromedial Cortical Support in Reduction of Trochanteric Hip Fractures

➤ The concept of anteromedial cortical support (AMCS) serves as valuable guidance for the intraoperative reduction of trochanteric hip fractures. ➤ Positive medial cortical support (MCS) and positive or neutral anterior cortical support (ACS) are desirable. Some evidence has suggested that positive MCS is potentially superior to neutral MCS. ➤ Experimental studies underscore the vital importance of the anteromedial wall and reveal why positive MCS potentially outperforms neutral MCS. ➤ Incorporating the AMCS concept, the Chang reduction quality criteria (CRQC) are a reliable alternative approach to evaluate the reduction quality of trochanteric hip fractures.
