PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The objective of this study was to establish relative fixation strengths of proximal femoral nail (PFN), dynamic hip screw (DHS), monolateral external fixator (EF), and cannulated screw (CS) in basicervical hip fracture model. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study involved four groups of implanted composite proximal femoral synthetic bones of eight specimens per group; nailing wit...

There is no study that has compared the radiation exposure during short (Short PFN) and long proximal femoral nailing (Long for 31A2 intertrochanteric hip fractures. The objective of present was to compare time in nail treatment This prospective cohort carried out a University teaching hospital. Sixty one consecutive patients with femur fracture treated pro- ximal were included study. distal lo...

Introduction An intertrochanteric (IT) femur fracture is an extra-capsular between greater and lesser trochanters. Unstable IT fractures are those where there poor contact fragments (especially medial posterior cortices), comminution, pattern, such that the weight-bearing forces tend to displace further or a reverse oblique type. Proximal femoral nailing (PFN) one of modalities for proximal fra...

Objective: The main objective of the study was to compare proximal femoral nail and Twin interlocking cephalomedullary in terms short-term functional radiological outcome. Methods: 30 patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures operated by a single surgeon were included study. 15 PFN group group. Modified Harris Hip score used assess Results: time union outcome comparable both grou...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate, through biomechanical testing, the resistance to and energy required for the occurrence of proximal femoral fracture in synthetic bone after removal of a proximal femoral nail model (PFN), comparing the results obtained with a reinforcement technique using polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). METHODS Fifteen synthetic bones were used: five units for the control group (CG), fi...

Introduction: The treatment for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patient has always been controversial. aim of this study was to compare outcome porous coated cementless mono-block long stem hemiarthroplasty (CPH) and proximal femoral nail (PFN) on fracture patients. Methods: From March 2017 2020, 132 patients with were treated by CPH or PFN. 73 using 59 (CPH). Bleeding amoun...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this meta-analysis was to find out whether the proximal femoral nail was better than the dynamic hip screw in the treatment of trochanteric fractures with respect to operation time, blood transfusion, hospital stay, wound complications, number of reoperation, and mortality rate. METHODS All randomized controlled trials comparing proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip ...

Introduction :To review the outcome of 60 patients treated with a proximal femoral nail (PFN) for Unstable trochanteric fractures from Jan 2010 to Dec 2011. Methods: 27 men and 33 women aged 28 to 90 (mean, 63) years with Unstable trochanteric fractures underwent PFN fixation using an cephallo-medullary nail, a lag screw, and a hip pin & Interlocking Bolts. Fractures were classified according t...

INTRODUCTION Biomechanically proximal femoral nail (PFN) is a better choice of implant, still it is associated with screw breakage, cut out of screw through femoral head, Z effect, reverse Z effect, and lateral migration of screws. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of augmented PFN in terms of prevention of postoperative complications and failure rates in unstable trochanteri...
