Abstract
PURPOSE: The wedge effect (V-effect) is a common complication in intramedullary nailing surgery for intertrochanteric fractures and can significantly affect postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to screen risk factors for the intraoperative V-effect in intertrochanteric fractures and to develop a clinical prediction model.
