Treatment of Trochanteric Fractures with the Gamma3 Nail - Methodology and Early Results of a Prospective Consecutive Monitored Clinical Case Series

Fig. (3) Fluoroscopy time [sec] for different nail lengths (mm). The median fluoroscopy time for the short Gamma nail (180 mm) was 51 s (range: 4-121 s; IQR: 36 s) which was significantly shorter (p < 0.001) than median fluoroscopy times for longer Gamma nails, ranging from 71 s (300 mm; range: 59-84 s; IQR: not computed) to 129 s. (320 mm; range: 5-192 sec.; IQR: 68.0 sec.).
