The learning curve of proximal femoral nailing

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2020
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate operation time and surgical complication rate of proximal femoral nailing during resident training. Methods: This retrospective evaluation included 659 patients (508 females, 151 males; mean age: 80.7 years), operated by 63 supervised residents between 1998 and 2010.

Proximal Femoral Nail versus Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation 2 in the Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Association of South Indian States, 2022
Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur is one of the most common fractures encountered by an orthopedician during his practice. Hence, it is considered highly relevant to compare the clinico-radiological outcome of intertrochanteric fractures treated with the two different intramedullary implants – proximal femoral nail (PFN)

A comparative biomechanical study of proximal femoral nail (InterTAN) and proximal femoral nail antirotation for intertrochanteric fractures [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2013
The purpose of this study was to compare the biomechanical strength of the cephalomedullary nail InterTAN in cases of intertrochanteric fractures with the commonly used PFNA.Sixteen fresh specimens of the proximal femur were used as intertrochanteric fracture models and were fixed using two fixation devices: the new proximal femoral nail (InterTAN) and

Correlation between lag screw route and the ideal insertion point of the intramedullary nail

Scientific Reports, 2021
Understanding the morphology of the superior aspect of the proximal femur is critical for treating femoral fracture. We assessed the correlation among the ideal insertion point of the femoral nail, femur head-neck axis, and native anteversion.

The Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) in the Treatment of Proximal Femoral Fractures

Collegium antropologicum, 2010
Proximal femoral fractures, especially in elderly persons with osteoporosis, present a challenge for the traumatologist. While the dynamic hip screw (DHS) became the implant of choice for the treatment of stable fractures, the ideal implant for the treatment of unstable fractures remains an issue.

Trochanteric fractures treated with a proximal femoral nail [PDF]

International Orthopaedics, 2001
We followed prospectively 295 patients with trochanteric fractures treated with the proximal femoral nail. The average age of the patients was 80 years and three out of four were female. The most frequent fracture type was A2 (59%). Clinical and radiographic controls were performed at 1, 3 and 6 months.
