Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background and Objectives:: There were limited studies which investigated nail diameter as a predictor for cephalomedullary nail (CMN) failure in intertrochanteric fracture (ITF). We aimed to evaluate the surgical outcomes of CMN in fragility ITF following nail–canal (N–C) diameter discordance. Materials and Methods: From November 2010 to March 2022, we retrospectively reviewed 120 consecutive patients who underwent CMN surgeries due to fragility ITF. We included patients with acceptable reduction and a tip–apex distance ≤ 25 mm. The N–C diameter differences both in anterior–posterior (AP) and lateral-view X-rays were measured, and we compared the number of excessive sliding instances and the rate of implant failure between the N–C concordance (≤3 mm) and discordance (>3 mm) group. Simple linear regression was used to determine the strength of the relationship between the N–C difference and sliding distance. Results: The sliding distance showed no differences between the groups in the AP (3.6 vs. 3.3 mm, p = 0.75) and lateral view (3.5 vs. 3.4 mm, p = 0.91). For analyses in the AP view, the AP-concordance and AP-discordance groups had 14 (25%) and 14 patients (22%) with a sliding distance of >5 mm (p = 0.69), while treatment failure occurred in 3 (5%) and 3 (3%) patients, respectively (p = 0.66). For analyses in the lateral view, the lat-concordance and lat-discordance groups had 8 (27%) and 20 patients (22%) with a sliding distance of >5 mm (p = 0.62), while treatment failure occurred in 1 (3%) and 4 (4%) patients, respectively (p = 1.00). Linear regression analyses showed that the N–C difference in either views was not a significant predictor of sliding distance in both the AP (R = 0.002, p = 0.60) and lateral views (R = 0.007, p = 0.35). Conclusions: If appropriate fracture reduction and fixation are achieved, the N–C discordance of short CMN does not affect treatment outcomes in ITF.
