Although InterTAN (IT) nails are widely employed to treat femoral intertrochanteric fractures, the mechanism behind the tautening effect of titanium-alloy IT nails is not well understood. This study aimed to reveal the mechanism of this effect. A torque test experiment was conducted, with the torque...
