The Impact of Medial Cortical Reduction on the Outcomes of Fixation in Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures.

Age and gender had a measurable but non-significant influence on functional recovery in our cohort: younger patients (<50 years) achieved faster WAS improvement, likely attributable to superior bone quality and lower comorbidity burden, yet this advantage did not reach statistical significance against the older strata at 12 weeks – underlining that optimizing reduction quality can partially offset the disadvantage of osteoporotic bone.
