Type II Intertrochanteric Fractures: Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) Versus Dynamic Hip Screw(DHS)
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteri...
متن کاملProximal Femoral Nail Antirotation in Treatment of Intertrochanteric Hip Fractures: a Retrospective Study in 113 Patients
INTRODUCTION The best treatment for intertrochanteric fractures remains controversial. Many methods have been recommended. AIM We aimed to assess the results of osteosynthesis using the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) system. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 113 consecutive patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFNA. Fractures were classified in ac...
متن کاملShould the tip-apex distance (TAD) rule be modified for the proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA)? A retrospective study
BACKGROUND Unstable proximal femoral fractures are common and challenging for the orthopaedic surgeon. Often, these are treated with intramedullary nails. The most common mode of failure of any device to treat these fractures is cut-out. The Synthes proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) is unique because it is the only proximal femoral intramedullary nail which employs a helical blade in li...
متن کاملProximal Femoral Nailing in Trochanteric Fractures
Trochanteric fractures, one of the commonest fractures treated by an orthopedic surgeon, typically occur in an elderly population with osteoporotic bones, mostly as a result of low velocity injury. The main stay of treatment for these fractures is fixation with screw–side plate device or intramedullary device. Recently, intra-medullary device is gaining popularity due to their distinct biomecha...
