Trochanteric femoral fractures treated by proximal femoral nail, a review of 110 cases
Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Intertrochanteric fractures are one of the most common fractures in osteoporotic individual. It is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Management of Intertrochanteric fractures causes more burden to the any orthopaedics center across the country and its create a great surgical dilemma for orthopaedician. The treatment options have evolved over time from conservative management of such kind of fractures to use of cephalomedullary nails (PFN). This study was conducted to study outcome of Trochanteric femoral fractures treated by Proximal Femoral Nail. 110 patients were included in the study.
