Medical Cost Analysis of the Osteoporotic Hip Fractures
, 2015 Objective: Osteoporotic hip fractures decrease the life expectancy for 20% about 20-50% of the patients become permanently dependent in terms of walking for the rest of their life. Life expectancy is increasing in Turkey in the last 20 years.

Proximal femoral nail: a minimally invasive treatment for intertrochanteric fractures.
, 2017 Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are the commonest fractures in elderly. Due to the increase in life expectancy and sedentary life style, more cases of such fractures are seen in day to day practice.

Retrospective Comparative study of Dynamic Hip Screw Fixation and Proximal Femur Nailing in Osteoporotic Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intertrochanteric fractures is one of the common most fractures of the hip especially in the older age groups with osteoporotic bones. Women are most susceptible and most common mode of injury is Trivial fall.

Study on the predictive value of femoral head HU values in hip fractures
Frontiers in SurgeryObjectiveThis study investigates whether the CT Hounsfield Unit (HU) value of the femoral head can differentiate femoral neck fractures (FNF) from intertrochanteric femoral fractures (IFF), and whether it can serve as an indicator for predicting the ...

External fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures
, 2009 In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with “intertro-chanteric” fractures remain unsuitable for open reduction and internal fixation.

Operative treatment of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures
, 2008 The incidence of intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures is about 17-24% in structure of skeletal trauma. The dynamic hip screw and interlocking intramedullary nails are standard implants for the trochanteric fractures treatment.

PFN A3 in Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Game Changer in Proximal Femoral Fixation
Annals of Medicine and Medical SciencesBackground: Intertrochanteric fractures, unstable particularly (AO/OTA 31-A3), is difficult to treat. Proximal femoral nailing (PFN) has emerged as a convenient means of its treatment owing to biomechanical superiority to achieve optimal stability and ...
