Comparison of functional outcomes of pertrochanteric fractures of the femur managed with dynamic hip screw with a locking side plate versus proximal femoral nail

Background: In current practice, proximal femoral nail (PFN) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) with locking side plate are the implant of choice in stable trochanteric fractures. Most deficiencies standard DHS have been addressed by introduction Locking plate. There plenty studies comparing PFN. But PFN scarce literature. This study aimed to compare outcomes both implants pertrochanteric Methods: The objective this was assess clinical using for fixation 40 patients who were admitted SUT Academy Medical Sciences between October 2017 April 2019. modified Harris score used evaluate patients' progress, regular follow-up conducted their outcomes. Results: Among group, mean 83.05, excellent results observed 2 (10%), good 12 (60%), fair 5 (25%), poor 1 patient (5%). comparison, group had a 85.50, seen 6 (30%), 10 (50%), 3 (5%), Conclusions: more outcomes, while Based on these findings, we can conclude that similarly effective treating intertrochanteric
