Should PFN Take Over From DHS In Unstable Peritrochanteric Fractures Of Femur
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Expected age of human race is getting amplified, leading to augmented number of geriatric people with osteoporotic bones and falls associated with them resulting in hip fractures. We studied & grouped these according to AO classification. Biomechanical studies have shown that for these fractures intramedullary device with sliding screw is better as compared to DHS. This was a prospective study of 50 cases of peritrochanteric fractures of femur evaluated as per Harris Hip score for PFN76 % of the patients had excellent to good functional score with 24% of patients had fair to poor functional score due to presence of co-morbidity or affected by one of the complications mentioned further. In our study, the average Harris Hip Score was 82.12 with the range of 66.5-92.5.
