Journal Title: National Journal of Medical and Dental Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The prospective study conducted to manage the intertrochanteric fracture of femur with PFN and DHS. We have interpreted the results and compare the advantages and disadvantages of both the implants. By taking into consideration the operation time blood transfusion hospital stay blood loss and functional outcome. 45 patients in the age group of 50 to 80 years, 30 male and 15 female were included in our study. Group A and Group B were formed to treat the patient with DHS and PFN. Group A for dynamic hip screw fixation and for Group B for proximal femoral nailing. There was no significant difference between two groups with respect to prospective mobilization, blood transfusion and hemoglobin loss. In functional outcome between the two groups was almost equal however PFN had an edge over DHS in terms of blood loss, neck shaft angle, shortening and operative time.
