Functional outcome of unstable intertrochanteric fracture treated with long PFN with or without augmentation

Objective: To evaluate the functional outcomes of patient having Unstable Inter-trochanteric fracture with or not sub-trochanteric extension treated by long PFN without augmentation. Materials and Methods: In our institute, a prospective study 24 patients who underwent surgical intervention for inter-trochanteric fractures using alone along augmentation studied their mechanism injury, sex prevalence, classification, complications period one year from January 2021 to 2022. Results: The were follow-up duration 9 months. At 6th month, mean Harris hip score was determined be 86. Out total participants, 10 achieved an excellent score, had good 2 fair poor score. Conclusion: Based on this study, both Long yield comparable in terms results, implant-related complications, healing rates unstable extension. decision augment fixation wire cerclage should made case-by-case basis, considering characteristics, bone quality, surgeon expertise. Prospective randomized controlled trials.
