Comparative Study Of Subtrochanteric Fractures Managed By Proximal Femur Nailand Proximal Femur Locking Plate
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
This prospective studycompared the functional outcomes of subtrochanteric fractures treated with PFN and PFLCP. A total of 20 patients were follwed up. Perioperative information and complication were recorded and assessment of functional outcome was made. Even though both PFN and PFLCP are effective in the treatment of subtrochanteric fractures, we observed that PFN was a better implant than PFLCP, because PFN enables more of a biological fixation with less disturbance of fracture haematoma, faster healing than PFLCP and lesser amount of blood loss.
