Biomechanical Comparison of Proximal Locking Plates and Blade Plates for the Treatment of Comminuted Subtrochanteric Femoral Fractures

Objectives:The 95° angled blade plate is an accepted standard for plating subtrochanteric femoral fractures but can be technically demanding and often requires extensive soft tissue exposure. Proximal femoral locking plates (PFLPs) have been developed for subtrochanteric and pertrochanteric fracture
