Proximal femoral neck penetration after flexible intramedullary nailing for pediatric femur fractures: A rare complication

Journal of Children's Orthopaedics, 2007
Flexible intramedullary nailing is a common method used to treat pediatric femur fractures. Complication rates can be high, but most complications are considered minor and do not result in additional unplanned surgeries.

Proximal femoral focal deficiency : a case report [PDF]

, 2008
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD) is a rare and complex congenital anomaly (1:50,000-200,000 population) that results in varying degrees of femoral hypoplasia with limb shortening and pelvic abnormalities.

A novel method for estimating nail-tract bone density for intertrochanteric fractures

Journal of Orthopaedic Translation, 2019
Summary: A novel method based on voxel-based morphometry was proposed to investigate the average volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of femoral head nail tract in patients treated with intramedullary nails—proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and

An unusual case of femoral head perforation following fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) for an unstable intertrochanteric fracture: Case report and literature review

Trauma Case Reports, 2019
The proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) is designed for fixation of unstable proximal femoral fractures in Asian patients due to its superior biomechanical properties. The helical blade achieves purchase through bone compaction and requires less

Role of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation in extracapsular proximal femoral fractures [PDF]

International Journal of Orthopaedics Sciences, 2018
Background: Peritrochanteric fractures are devastating injuries involving young and adult population and needs surgical fixation. But there are many complications related to fixation devices & quality of bone. In view of this surgical management of peritrochanteric fractures by other better device is taken up.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONAL AND RADIOLOGICAL OUTCOMES BETWEEN PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTI-ROTATION 2 AND CONVENTIONAL PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL AT SCHOOL OF MEDICAL SCIENCE AND RESEARCH, SHARDA UNIVERSITY GREATER NOIDA: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.

Student's Journal of Health Research Africa
Introduction The PFNA (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation) was developed to achieve improved stabilization of the femoral head and neck. The PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail) is a well-established treatment approach for proximal femoral fractures.
