Core Tip	Intertrochanteric fractures are common in the older adult population and are typically treated surgically with a dynamic hip screw or an intramedullary nail with one-fifth of patients requiring reoperation. Accurate fracture reduction and optimal implant positioning are crucial for successful fracture healing and reducing reoperation rates. In this review, we examine the radiographic parameters emphasized in the current literature for assessing fracture reduction quality and implant positioning following intertrochanteric fracture fixation. This review offers orthopaedic surgeons an overview of key radiographic parameters for assessing intertrochanteric fracture fixation and enhancing risk factor identification.
