Insufficiency femoral intertrochanteric fractures associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures.

Insufficiency fractures are often overlooked, particularly when associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures. Here, we report magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of insufficiency femoral intertrochanteric fractures associated with greater trochanteric avulsion fractures treated by internal fixation.  Suzuki K, Kawachi S, Nanke H.
