Prognosis of Patients with Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur Undergoing Treatment with Double Screw Proximal Femoral Nail- A Clinical Study
Journal Title: Journal of Advanced Medical and Dental Sciences Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Background: Hip fractures or fractures of proximal femur are one of the most frequent and appalling fractures affecting the elderly population with 90% occurring in >60 years age group. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the prognosis of patients with intertrochanteric fractures of femur undergoing treatment with double screw proximal femoral nail. Materials & methods: The present study included 30 cases of intertrochanteric fractures of skeletally mature adults with two screw proximal femur nail.After obtaining the informed consent, the operative procedure was carried out in all the patients. Patients were discharged after primary operative procedure.Follow up was done for 4 visits in 6 months. At each visit clinical, radiological and functional outcome of the patient was assessed. Outcome in all the patients was assessed in terms of Harris Hip score and Palmer and Parker Score. Results: Significant results were obtained while comparing the preoperative and postoperative mean Palmer and Parker score at different time intervals. Significant results were obtained while comparing the preoperative and postoperative mean HHS at different time intervals. Conclusion: PFN is an excellent implant in the management of Inter-trochanteric fractures.
