A comparative study of functional outcome of short proximal femoral nail with long proximal femoral nail in proximal femoral fractures [PDF]

International Journal of Research in Orthopaedics, 2020
<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Trochanteric femoral fractures are often seen in patients aged they can be caused by high-energy or low-energy trauma or may be pathological. Particularly in the elderly, hip fractures are a major cause of increased mortality and morbidity.

Treatment of basicervical femoral neck fractures with proximal femoral nail antirotation

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Objective A basicervical femoral neck fracture, which is located at the junction between the femoral neck and intertrochanteric region, is a rare type of fracture. The treatment effects for this type of fracture vary.

Functional outcome of long proximal femoral nail versus short proximal femoral nail in peritrochanteric fractures [PDF]

International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2021
Background: Proximal femoral nail (PFN) is an intramedullary implant which has been commonly used in the fixation of intertrochanteric fractures. However, controversy comes about the effect of nail length on fracture union and other complications. A comparative evaluation of surgical treatment and functional outcome of patients with peritrochanteric ...

Proximal Femoral Nail versus Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation: Functional and Radiological Outcome in Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Introduction Newer implant designs such as Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) and Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFN-A) have shown promising results in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Despite the availability of various implants for the treatment of these fractures, there is no common consensus as to which implant would be ideal. Therefore,

Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation in Treatment of Fractures of Proximal Femur [PDF]

Medical Archives, 2014
Fractures of the proximal femur and hip are relatively common injuries in adults and common source of morbidity and mortality among the elderly. Many methods have been recommended for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures.We retrospective analyzed all the patients with fractures of the hip treated with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA ...

Cephalomedullary nailing for proximal femoral fractures [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2005
From May 1999 to April 2002, we treated 14 patients with subtrochanteric femoral fractures and seven patients with ipsilateral fractures of the femoral neck and shaft using a second-generation cephalomedullary interlocked nail. Patients mean age was 36 (20-60) years, and 19 fractures were caused by high-energy trauma.

Antegrade insertion of a retrograde intramedullary femoral nail for treatment of a subtrochanteric pathological femoral shaft fracture in a patient with pre-existing coxa vara

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Objective: We report the unorthodox use of a retrograde intramedullary nail via antegrade technique for the treatment of a subtrochanteric pathological femur fracture in the presence of significant coxa vara. No similar use has been documented previously
