ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for reducing a hip fracture utilizing a minimally invasive procedure. A femoral implant achieves intramedullary fixation as well as fixation into the femoral head. To optimally position the femoral implant, a minimally invasive incision is aligned with the greater trochanter and the wound is developed to expose the greater trochanter. Various reamers are utilized to prepare a cavity in the femur extending from the greater trochanter into the femoral head and further extending from the greater trochanter into the intramedullary canal of the femur.
