A study of surgical management of peritrochanteric fracture of femur with proximal femoral nail

PFN is considered to be an excellent implant for the treatment of Peritrochanteric fractures using Proximal Femoral Nail for a good understanding of fracture biomechanics, proper patient selection, good preoperative planning, accurate instrumentation, good image intensifier.

Management of Extracapsular Fractures of Hip with Proximal Femoral Nailing

PFN is an excellent implant for the treatment of Peritrochanteric fractures with good to excellent results, which include a good understanding of fracture biomechanics, proper patient selection, good preoperative planning, accurate instrumentation, good image intensifier.

TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF UNION , COMPLICATIONS , AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES IN INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES TREATED BY PFN

Proximal femoral nail can be considered the most judicious and rational method of treating intertrochanteric fractures, especially the unstable and reverse oblique type.
