Do I need to use the PORD (Posterior Reduction) for all of my intertrochanteric hip fracture procedures with this system?
It is highly recommended. One of the principles of the PC.C.P is the closed fracture reduction. Frequently, even with a relatively stable fracture pattern, reduction is lost during the procedure (fixation). The PORD reduces posterior fracture sagging in all femur fractures and maintains reduction throughout fracture fixation.
Can the PORD device be used with all tables?
The PORD is compatible with most fracture tables with standard bed attachments used in most surgical departments.
