Routine maneuvers of nail fixation. Anteroposterior (a) and lateral (b) imaging show the guide pin for the blade. The pin should be in parallel with the axis of the femoral neck in both planes with correct tip-to-apex distance. Anteroposterior (c) and lateral (d) view shows anatomical reduction and satisfactory fixation by PFN-A. The wire is tightened, and the displaced fragments of the greater trochanter get a better position. e Postoperatively, anteroposterior radiograph shows the perfect combination of the wire and the nail
