Abstract
We read with great interest the article “Trans-Table Intraoperative Fluoroscopic Technique for Obtaining a True Lateral View of the Proximal Femur in the Lateral Decubitus Position” by Pisoudeh, K et al [1]. We acknowledge the authors' efforts to elucidate the effectiveness of trans-table intraoperative fluoroscopy as a technique for obtaining a true lateral view in the management of proximal femoral fractures. However, we had several concerns about the study results and believe that the authors' responses may help to address them.
