Anatomy of the Intertrochanteric Region
The intertrochanteric region is the most important zone for stabilizing the contact surface between the cement and bone. The mechanical properties of cancellous bone structure are varied depending on their location. At the center of the intertrochanteric region is haemopoietic cancellous bone which is unsuitable for anchoring the cement, while the cancellous bone adjoining the cortex layer has better mechanical properties.
