Subtrochanteric atypical femoral fractures (AFFs) usually require long cephalomedullary or reconstruction nailing to achieve satisfactory healing. Recently, this type of nailing has also been recommended to fix diaphyseal AFFs and prevent fragility fractures around the proximal femur, although standard antegrade nailing seems sufficient from a biomechanical perspective. This study aimed to compare treatment outcomes and complications between reconstruction and standard nailing for diaphyseal AFFs. A retrospective comparative study
