Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Innovative Research (IJMSIR) - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
Background- Proximal femoral fractures in elderly are usually resulting from minimal to moderate physical trauma to areas of bone significantly weakened by osteoporosis. Methods- This was a Prospective Randomised Comparative Study of Screw and Helical blade Proximal Femoral Nails for the Treatment of unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures in adults and elderly patients of both genders admitted in orthopedic wards of SMS Medical College Jaipur Rajasthan (During the study period between April 2016 to December 2017). Results- Mean + Sd of duration of surgery in 2 groups of subject. The mean duration of surgery in group I and group II was 66.60 + 8.22 min and 87.92 + 13.83 min respectively. The mean duration of surgery of group II was found to be higher as compare to group I subjects. Mean 209.60 ml blood loss was present in 25 patients of group II. Mean±sd was 171.80±39 & 209.60±44.02 in group I & group II respectively. Conclusion-We can conclude that use of helical blade PFN is certainly better in these type of fracture than screw PFN.
