Key Clinical Message Unstable 4 part pertrochanteric fractures without lateral cortical support presents considerable technical problem in treatment with high risk of failure with any implant. Anatomical or slight valgus reduction and subchondral central position of the lag screw ( TAD <25 mm) reduces the chance of screw cut out and other complications.
