BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical outcomes of elderly patients undergoing surgery for treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures receiving either proximal femoral nails anti-rotation-Asia (PFNA-IIs) or InterTan nails (ITs). METHODS Between January 1, 2012, and June 31, 2015, 168 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures enrolled in this ...

Fractures of the proximal femur are one of the greatest challenges facing the medical community, constituting a heavy socioeconomic burden worldwide. Controversy exists regarding the optimal treatment for patients with unstable trochanteric proximal femoral fractures. The recognised treatment alternatives are extramedullary fixation usually with a sliding hip screw and intramedullary fixation w...

The goal of this study is to gauge the radiological results and therefore functional outcomes consistent with Parker mobility score patients after using Dynamic hip screw trochanteric stabilizing plate in fixation unstable fractures assess complication. Twenty (ages ranged from 51 70 an average age 64.20 ± 6.338 years, 12 them (60%) were females 8 (40%) males) fracture treated Hip Screw Trocha...
