Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate mobility and quality life in patients who underwent osteosynthesis with proximal femoral nail (PFN), or arthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
 Methods: Treatment outcomes 117 (76 Female/41 Male) were treated PFN (Group 1, n=66), hemiarthroplasty 2, n=42), total hip 3, n=9) between 2008 2014 retrospectively evaluated. evaluat...

Background: Intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures are leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. Aim: This study was done to analyze the surgical management of proximal third fractures of femur using Proximal Femoral Nail fixation. Materials and methods: 20 cases there were 15 male and 5 female patients of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, which were treate...

Background: Incidence of intertrochanteric fractures has been found to be significantly increasing in today’s modern human populations. Generally, intramedullary fixation and extramedullary fixation are the 2 primary options for treatment of such fractures. The dynamic hip screw (DHS), commonly used in extramedullary fixation, has become a standard implant in treatment of these fractures. Proxi...

Fractures of the proximal femur are a big challenge in traumatology. Rapid strides in implant and instrumentations in quest of ideal fixation of pertrochanteric and subtrochanteric femoral fractures have made various options available like Fixed-angled nail plate, Screw plates, Angled blade plate, Dynamic Hip Screw etc. The present study aims to study the role of standard PFN as a minimal invas...

Background: The angle between femur neck and the long axis of shaft is known as which plays vital role in stability, control lateral balance, walking hip movements. main goal was to compare NSA intertrochanteric fracture immediately after surgical fixation using either Dynamic Hip Screw or Proximal Femoral Nail. In elderly among all fractures approximately half are out 50% unstable.Method: X-ra...

INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of traumatic subtrochanteric fractures fixed with long proximal femoral nail (PFN) or long gamma nail with particular emphasis on our experience of surgical techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the results of 49 consecutive patients who had undergone intramedullary fixation specifically with a...
