Article Abstract
The incidence of pertrochanteric hip fractures continues to rise as the aging population expands. Despite advancements in techniques and implants, failure rates remain up to 16% in the literature. The recognition of challenging fracture patterns and the use of meticulous preoperative planning can help to avoid common pitfalls. Understanding fluoroscopic views for reduction assessment and implant placement is instrumental in preventing fixation failure. In addition, adjunctive techniques including the use of a bone hook, cerclage wire, and colinear clamps can facilitate reduction efforts. It is imperative for the surgeon to recognize common pitfalls and to consider a wide array of techniques to manage these challenging and common fractures.

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related mortality, with cytologic samples often serving as the primary diagnostic tool. However, differentiating between benign and malignant processes in lung cytology can be difficult because various non-neoplastic conditions closely resemble malignant lesions, which may lead to misdiagnosis. This review offers nine essential tips to help cytopathologists prevent false-positive diagnoses of malignancy in non-neoplastic processes.
