Hip fractures account for a large proportion of hospitalization among the trauma cases. Low cost, simple technique, easy removal, and high rate of the bone union makes extramedullary (EM) fixation techniques a preferred choice. A close-fit bone and plate are essential for the success of such implantation. Various studies have found femur morphometry being related to regional features and social differences. Most of the available commercial implants are developed based on the data of the Caucasian population.
