Proximal 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 کاملThe proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures.
Proximal femoral fractures, especially in elderly persons with osteoporosis, present a challenge for the traumatologist. While the dynamic hip screw (DHS) became the implant of choice for the treatment of stable fractures, the ideal implant for the treatment of unstable fractures remains an issue. In our experience, Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) is an excellent device for osteosynth...
متن کاملThe Asia proximal femoral nail antirotation versus the standard proximal femoral antirotation nail for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly Chinese patients.
BACKGROUND The best options of internal fixation for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly Chinese patients remain controversial. The Asia proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) was specifically designed for Asian patients, which could be more effective than the regular proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Compared to PFNA, whether PFNA-II is associated with shorter operat...
متن کاملEarly results of the proximal femoral nail antirotation-Asia for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly Chinese patients.
OBJECTIVE To report early efficacy and safety of the proximal femoral nail antirotation-Asia for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly Chinese patients. METHODS This retrospective study was carried out in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Anhui, China between June 2009 and December 2012. A total of 108 patients with intertrochanteric fractures were available for the outcome an...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail (Pfn) – a new stage in the theraPy of extracaPsular femoral fractures
The research was aimed at referring to contemporary problems concerning fractures of the proximal femur that, particularly in older patients, represent not only medical, but also social and nursing difficulties. Within November 2004 to March 2006, 83 patients with proximal femoral fractures were treated using PFN. Except for two cases, the post-operative course was favourable and patients could...
