The expected number of hip fractures worldwide will rise from 1.7
million in 1990, to 6.3 million in 2050. In parallel, surgical
complications are expected to increase. We describe a rare complication
of intrapelvic migration of the lag screw from trochanteric nail in a
90-year-old patient.30 Mar 2022Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 31 Mar 2022Submission Checks Completed
