Surgical Management Of Proximal Femur Fractures By Proximal Femoral Nail
Background and Objectives: Proximal third fractures of femur like intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, are a leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. The number of such admissions is on a raise because of increasing life span and sedentary habits. Conservative methods of treatment results in malunion with shortening and limitation of hip movement as well as complicati...
متن کاملTreatment of Unstable Trochanteric Femur Fractures: Proximal Femur Nail Versus Proximal Femur Locking Compression Plate.
Unstable trochanteric femur fractures are common fractures that are difficult to manage. We conducted a prospective study to compare functional outcomes and complications of 2 different implant designs, proximal femur nail (PFN) and proximal femur locking compression plate (PFLCP), used in internal fixation of unstable trochanteric femur fractures. On hospital admission, 48 patients with unstab...

ABSTRACT The Long Trochanteric Fixation Nail (LTFN) is a titanium alloy cephalomedullary nail indicated for treatment of proximal femur fractures, including intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric varieties. Between 03/01/2002, and 10/01/2003, 211 consecutive fractures classified either as “intertrochanteric” or “subtrochanteric” were treated surgically at involved study centers. Fifty of these f...
