Functional outcome of the intertrochanteric fracture of femur managed by Dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail: A prospective comparative study

Intertrochanteric fractures are among the most common hip fractures, particularly in elderly with osteoporotic bones, and typically caused by low-energy trauma such as simple falls. Although PFN DHS have been used to treat intertrochanteric results conclusions inconsistent. The present Prospective Comparative study was conducted at Department of Orthopaedics, MSDASMC, Bahraich, over 24 months, from June 2019 2021. were treated randomly, whether using Dynamic Hip Screws (DHS) or proximal femoral nail (PFN). Out a total 60 cases, all them included. A group 30 patients separated into two groups: first received Screws, while second had PFN. Every patient followed for nine months after their treatment. In our study, mean Age 62.5 ± 4.26, group, it 63.7 3.78 years. higher Harris score (HHS) observed groups. Their intergroup comparison between revealed significant differences each follow-up. Furthermore, minimal blood loss, duration surgery, incision size low difference statistically compared group. Mean hospital stay also showed no differences. fracture femur, is more suitable fixation approach. To extent that will further generalizability dependability research, demand be granted.
