Short term follow up study of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in case of unstable peritrochanteric fractures
Journal Title: Journal of the Indian Medical Association - Year 2018, Vol 116, Issue 6
Abstract
Comminuted Intertrochanteric fracture is a challenging problem in term of choice of implant for promoting osteosynthesis. These fracture presents with two challenges instability due to posteromedial and lateral comminution.Intramedullary implant has been treatment of choice. Proximal femoral nail with antirotation screw seem to be viable option for treatment of these fracture as two screw provides compression and rotatonal stability.
