Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 7
Abstract
This prospective study was performed to compare the functional & anatomical results with two different implant fixation devices, in the management of Subtrochanteric femoral fractures in adults. Thirty patients were included in this study from June 2007 to June 2010. The proximal femoral nailed patient showed identical functional & anatomical results compared to patients fixed with dynamic condylar plating, but time to fracture union & full weight bearing was earlier in the PFN patient group.
