Comparison of Operative Parameters During Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures with Proximal Femoral Nail and Dynamic Hip Screw

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate surgical characteristics proximal femoral nail and dynamic hip screw stabilisation for intertrochanteric fractures. Methods: After ethical approval from institutional review board, this randomized controlled trial, conducted at Orthopaedic Department, Jinnah Post Graduate Medical Centre, Karachi, 29th July 2018 28th January 2019 through non-probability consecutive sampling, 100 participants were recruited present study. Radiographs pelvis with both hips anteroposterior view traction-internal rotation taken. used in group A while B. At end surgery, time blood loss calculated independent t-test applied comparison. Effects addressed Stratification. P-value ≤0.05 taken as significant. Results: There 72% male 28% female patients group-A 68% 32% group-B. mean fracture duration group-B 3.52±1.41days 3.54±1.45 days respectively. Mean operative 91.32±8.10 minutes 73.20±12.52 respectively intraoperative 188.34±25.80 ml 255.44±14.56 group- B These differences found Conclusion: Group had a longer considerably less intra-operative compared Keywords: Operative Parameters, Intertrochanteric Fractures, Proximal Femoral Nail, Dynamic Hip Screw
