Can Fluoroscopy-based Computer Navigation Improve Entry Point Selection for Intramedullary Nailing of Femur Fractures?

BACKGROUND: The entry point is crucial to an accurate reduction in femoral nailing. Fluoroscopy-based navigation was developed to aid in reducing femur fractures and selecting entry points. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: We asked: (1) Can the piriformis fossa (PF) and tip of the greater trochanter (TT) be iden...
