Comparison of Unstable Per-Trochanteric Fractures Fixed with Proximal Femoral Nail Versus Dynamic Hip Screw Using Harris Hip Score

Objective: To compare the frequency of a good functional outcome in unstable per-trochanteric fractures fixed with dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail using Harris Hip Score. Methodology: A comparative study was conducted at Department Orthopaedic Surgery, Pakistan Institute Medical Sciences, Islamabad, from June to December 2021. total 80 patients femur were selected divided into two groups based on surgical procedure performed: or nail. comprehensive history thorough examination performed for all during scheduled follow-up visits. Patients called assessments 1 month 3 months evaluate outcomes Results: The mean age 58.73±6.78 years. At 3-month follow-up, Score significantly higher group compared (84.64±7.05 vs. 73.9±12.53; p = 0.005). proportion (Harris ≥ 70 points) (97.5% 72.5%, 0.002). Conclusion: In this study, demonstrated superior group. use fixation can provide better facilitate an earlier return pre-injury status patients.
