    The study evaluated anterolateral mini-incision with traction-free reduction for complex intertrochanteric fractures in patients over 60.

  • 2

    41 older adult patients were randomly assigned to either the observation group or control group for comparison of surgical outcomes.

  • 3

    The observation group experienced significantly shorter anesthesia duration and less intraoperative blood loss compared to the control group.

  • 4

    No significant differences were found in operative duration, fluoroscopic exposures, or postoperative pain scores between the two groups.

  • 5

    The anterolateral mini-incision technique is reliable, avoids traction table complications, and is suitable for institutions lacking such equipment.
