Introduction Dynamization of the nail can be used to improve osteoreparation during intramedullary interlocking nailing (IIN). The procedure can be difficult to perform in some sub- and intertrochanteric femoral fractures due to anatomical and functional features. The objective was to demonstrate a case of successful use of an original version of the lateral cortical notching (LCN) technique for dynamization of an intramedullary proximal nail in a patient with a nonunited subtrochanteric fractur
