Abstract
Various muscles and tendons, branches of the MFCA along with the hip joint capsule were injured or largely at risk during nail insertion through the piriform fossa. Most of these structures were not exposed during insertion through the trochanteric tip. The reported clinical morbidity after nailing through the piriform fossa may find its origin in direct soft tissue injury and may be reduced by choosing a lateral nail entry point.
