An 84 years old female with pertrochanteric femur fracture (AO/OTA-A2.3). a: Preoperative AP view; b: Intraoperative AP view; c: Lateral view; d: 30° anteromedial oblique view showed positive cortical support reduction pattern; e:Post-operative 3D-CT image revealed the anteromedial cortex achieved a true contact (positive support). f:A slightly flexed rotation of the head-neck fragment resulted in a minor forward shift of the inferior spike, and confirmed stable cortex-to-cortex contact of the anteromedial inferior corner
