BACKGROUND When primary fixation of proximal femoral fractures with implants fails, revision osteosynthesis may be challenging. Tracts of previous implants and remaining insufficient bone stock in the proximal femur pose unique problems for the treatment. Intramedullary implants like proximal femoral nail (PFN) or surface implants like Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) are few of the described impla...

Intertrochanteric fractures are among the most common hip fractures, particularly in elderly with osteoporotic bones, and typically caused by low-energy trauma such as simple falls. Although PFN DHS have been used to treat intertrochanteric results conclusions inconsistent. The present Prospective Comparative study was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, MSDASMC, Bahraich, over 24 months, ...

Intertrochanteric fractures are significantly increasing in older adults. Treatment choices for trochanteric include intramedullary nail and extra medullary fixation, even though the appropriate treatment such remain controversial. The present study was aimed to assess optimal option intertrochanteric determine which method i.e. proximal femoral nailing (PFN) dynamic hip screw fixation (DHS) gi...

Dynamic hip screw has long been a standard implant for intertrochanteric hip fractures. The inception of intramedullary nails has further revolutionized their management. With a constant evolution in the designs of both these implants, there has always been a conflict concerning the superiority of one over the other. In this randomized prospective cohort study, 80 patients with intertrochanteri...

BACKGROUND The aim of this meta-analysis was to compare the outcomes of proximal femoral nail (PFN) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS Relevant randomized or quasi-randomized controlled studies comparing the effects of PFN and DHS were searched for following the requirements of the Cochrane Library Handbook. Six eligible studies invol...

Introduction: Sub-trochanteric fractures of the femur remains one of the most challenging fractures faced by orthopaedic surgeons. This study was done to analyse the management and complications of sub-trochanteric fractures using long proximal femoral nail (PFN). Materials and Methods: This was a prospective study of 50 patients with sub-trochanteric fractures of femur who were treated with lo...

Aim: In the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures, proximal femoral nail (PFN), and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BPH) are widely used. This study aimed to compare these two types implants depending on risk factors regarding patients. 
 Material Method: PFN (Group 1) was applied 40 89 patients (44 female, 45 male) aged between 51-80 (mean 68.16±6.78) BPH 2) 49 them. Age, gender, fract...

Introduction: A high mortality rate is associated with hip fractures in the elderly. This because their bones are osteoporotic implants having less hold and there more co-morbidities Osteosynthesis proximal femoral nail (PFN) features advantages of rotational stability head-neck fragment. However, use technically ambitious accompanied by some risks error, which can lead to failure. study aims u...

BACKGROUND Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteric f...
