Management of Intertrochanteric Fracture of Femur with Proximal Femoral Nailing
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Intertrochanteric femoral fractures are of intense interest globally. They are the most frequently operated fracture type, have the highest post-operative fatality rate of surgically treated fractures & have become a serious health resource issue. The incidence of fractures in Proximal femoral area has risen with increasing numbers of elderly persons with osteoporosis & traffic accidents in young adults. The aim of the study is to assess clinical & functional results in Intertrochanteric fractures that were treated by closed reduction & internal fixation using a Proximal Femoral Nail. To assess intra-operative and post-operative complications of closed reduction and internal fixation of intertrochanteric fractures using a Proximal Femoral Nail. From our study that Proximal femoral nail (PFN) can be considered the most rational method of treating intertrochanteric fractures, But Proximal femoral nailing requires a higher surgical skill, good fracture table, good instrumentation and good C-arm control. It has a steep learning curve.Thus we can conclude that the proximal femoral nail is after proper training and technique a safe and easy implant option for treatment of complex intertrochanteric fractures.
