Internal fixation with short intramedullary nails
Intramedullary nailing is a method of internal fixation used to treat fractures. An intramedullary nail is a metal rod forced into the marrow canal of a bone to stabilize and align fractures. Participants in this group will be fixed with a shorter intramedullary nail (defined as defined as less than 2/3 of the patient's femur) for proximal femoral (impending) pathological fractures.
