Michael Lotz Nov 24, 2011:
@ Sjld & Joanne A. : Interesting and good points. In any event, I would restrict myself here to translating accurately the descriptive text and not try to deduce more from other knowledge. But certainly very valid points you raise. thanks !
Joanne Archambault Nov 24, 2011:
internal fixation hardware Because of the reference to a plate in the source text, I wonder if a "sliding nail-plate" was used in this patient...
See figure 8 in this paper:

SJLD Nov 24, 2011:
In fact, I wonder if it doesn't mean a Gamma nail, which has an intramedullary component and a femoral head component.
SJLD Nov 24, 2011:
You usually see "clou centro-médullaire", which is an intramedullary nail.

French term (edited): un clou centro-capital
Selected

pin/nail in the center of the femoral head (here)

The pin or nail fixes has been placed in the center of the femoral head.
centro-captale = center of the femoral head.
In addition there is a plate screwed into the diaphysis of the femur.
There is also a trochanteric fracture inferior to the femoral head mentioned next.
