Effect of Treatment Modality on Mobility and Quality of Life in Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures

Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate mobility and quality life in patients who underwent osteosynthesis with proximal femoral nail (PFN), or arthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
 Methods: Treatment outcomes 117 (76 Female/41 Male) were treated PFN (Group 1, n=66), hemiarthroplasty 2, n=42), total hip 3, n=9) between 2008 2014 retrospectively evaluated. evaluated Palmer Parker score, Barthel index.
 Results: mean ages groups 83.51 (range, 75-97) years, 84.72 75-109) 83.37 75-94) years; respectively. follow-up periods 23.26 3-43.9) months, 19.24 3-38) 20.1 3-40) months; There no statistical difference 3 terms age time (p>0.05).
