• Demonstrates that a nail specifically designed for trochanteric entry can match piriformis fossa nailing in union rate, complication rate, and functional recovery — addressing concerns that trochanteric starting points might compromise outcomes. • Provides evidence that entry portal choice can meaningfully affect operative efficiency and radiation exposure, particularly in obese patients, where the piriformis approach required significantly more fluoroscopy and operative time. • Offers trainees a data-driven rationale for considering trochanteric entry nailing as an alternative to piriformis fossa nailing, especially when technical difficulty or radiation exposure is a concern in higher BMI patients.
