Wedge Effect in Trochanteric Fractures/ IT fractures/ Proximal femur fractures

‼️ Please go through the comments if any concerns; most have already been addressed !! Thanks for watching. The wedge effect refers to a specific displacement pattern where the fracture line is oblique and extends through the greater trochanter, creating a triangular or wedge-shaped fragment of bone. This fragment may become displaced, meaning it shifts or moves away from its normal anatomical position. Wedge effect refers to the phenomenon in which femoral shaft lateralization and femoral neck varus malalignment occur following IM nail fixation for Trochanteric Fractures.
