Abstract
Pertrochanteric femur fracture is rare in patients with lower leg amputation. Using supracondylar traction takes full advantage of the extension table. Intraoperative insertion of a Steinmann pin for traction is a well-known low-risk procedure. In our opinion, this kind of extension is a simple procedure that carries no risks for postoperative prosthetic management in patients with lower leg amputation.Entities:
