Objective: To evaluate the quality of the iliopsoas muscle complex after pertrochanteric femoral fracture, using MRI; to propose an anatomy-based evaluation of the iliopsoas muscle complex; and to determine the inter-reader reliability of two classifications of fatty muscle degeneration.
Materials And Methods: We included adult patients with a displaced lesser trochanter following pertrochanteric femoral fracture. Muscle quality was evaluated using the Goutallier and Slabaugh classifications at three levels (L4/L5, L5/S1, and the anterior inferior iliac spine).
Objective: To evaluate iliopsoas atrophy and loss of function after displaced lesser trochanter fracture of the hip.
Design: Cohort study.
Setting: District hospital.

Article Synopsis
- Midshaft clavicular fractures are usually treated without surgery and often heal well, but malunion with shortening can occur, impacting shoulder strength and function.
- Complications from malunion may include pain, thoracic outlet syndrome, and vascular issues, leading to recommendations for corrective surgery in symptomatic cases.
- The authors propose a technique for corrective osteotomy that utilizes preoperative computer planning and 3D-printed guides based on the patient's healthy clavicle for improved surgical accuracy.
