Cerclage wiring and entrance of intramedullary nail. a A circumferential wire is used to augment anatomical reduction. The wire surrounds the medial calcar above the fractured lesser trochanter and the lateral wall. b The lateral imaging shows the displaced fragment of the greater trochanter is also encircled (green arrow). Following entry of a guide pin from the tip of the greater trochanter, anteroposterior (c) and lateral (d) imaging show the reduction is maintained. e A proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) is inserted to an appropriate depth
