Surgical Management Of Proximal Femur Fractures By Proximal Femoral Nail
Background and Objectives: Proximal third fractures of femur like intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures, are a leading cause of hospital admissions in elderly people. The number of such admissions is on a raise because of increasing life span and sedentary habits. Conservative methods of treatment results in malunion with shortening and limitation of hip movement as well as complicati...
متن کاملThe proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of proximal femoral fractures.
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. In our experience, Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) is an excellent device for osteosynth...
متن کاملSurgical Treatment of Undisplaced Femur Neck Fractures in Dementia Patients Using Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation
PURPOSE People with dementia have poor mobility and discharge outcomes following hip fractures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological results of internal fixation of undisplaced femur neck fractures (Garden types 1 and 2) by proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in dementia patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We studied retrospectively 19 patients with undisp...
متن کاملIntramedullary fixation of subtrochanteric fractures with long proximal femoral nail or long gamma nail: technical notes and preliminary results.
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to prospectively evaluate the clinical outcome of traumatic subtrochanteric fractures fixed with long proximal femoral nail (PFN) or long gamma nail with particular emphasis on our experience of surgical techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS We reviewed the results of 49 consecutive patients who had undergone intramedullary fixation specifically with a...
متن کاملProximal femoral nail (Pfn) – a new stage in the theraPy of extracaPsular femoral fractures
The research was aimed at referring to contemporary problems concerning fractures of the proximal femur that, particularly in older patients, represent not only medical, but also social and nursing difficulties. Within November 2004 to March 2006, 83 patients with proximal femoral fractures were treated using PFN. Except for two cases, the post-operative course was favourable and patients could...
