Functional Outcome of Proximal Femoral Nailing in Intertrochanteric Fracture

Journal of Nepal Health Research Council, 2022
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture of femur is one of the commonest fracture seen in elderly, osteoporotic female. The main stay of treatment is fixation with dynamic hip screw or intramedullary device like Proximal Femoral Nail.

Persistent femoral neck non-union despite valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy: Relevance for secondary cam-type impingement

Trauma Case Reports, 2023
Valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy is a well-established treatment in delayed union of femoral neck fractures as it converts shear forces into compression forces.

Cement augmentation of the proximal femoral nail antirotation for the treatment of two intertrochanteric fractures - a comparative finite element study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2021
Background There are concerns regarding initial stability and cutout effect in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) treating intertrochanteric fractures. No study have used finite element analysis (FEA) to investigate the biomechanics.
