Proximal 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...
متن کاملProximal Femoral Nailing: Technical Difficulties and Results in Trochanteric Fractures
Background: Proximal femoral nailing in communited intertrochanteric fractures is increasingly becoming popular in view of superior biomechanics and prevention of varus collapse associated with Dynamic hip screw. However, technical difficulties and implant related complications have been described with this technique, thus we need more studies to address these issues. Our study aims to understa...
متن کاملA Prospective Study to Evaluate the Management of Sub-trochanteric Femur Fractures with Long Proximal Femoral Nail
Introduction: Sub-trochanteric fractures of the femur remains one of the most challenging fractures faced by orthopaedic surgeons. This study was done to analyse the management and complications of sub-trochanteric fractures using long proximal femoral nail (PFN). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 50 patients with sub-trochanteric fractures of femur who were treated with lo...
متن کاملStudy of surgical management of Trochanteric and sub trochant- eric fractures with proximal femoral nailing – A study of 40 cases
Introduction: Intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures are devastating injuries that most commonly affect elderly, but it is not uncommon in younger age. Trochanteric fractures in elderly are due to trivial fall where as in younger population it is due to high energy trauma. Treatment of these fractures especially sub trochanteric fractures is highly challenging, because there is high ri...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail for treatment of trochanteric femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To report outcomes of 87 consecutive patients treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) for trochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS 17 men and 70 women aged 58 to 95 (mean, 85) years with trochanteric femoral fractures underwent PFN fixation using an intramedullary nail, a lag screw, and a hip pin. Fractures were classified according to the AO system; the most common fracture type wa...
