Subtrochanteric Femur Fracture

Injuries to the femur, the longest bone in the body presents a challenging situationto the orthopedic surgeon. The proximal femoral intramedullary devices are useful for the treatmentof isolated pathological lesions in the subtrochanteric region. Biomechanically, the nail can withstandbetween 3to 5 times body weight. Hence the present study was planned to study the managementof these fractures with the proximal femoral nail. Materials and Methods: A total of 44 patientswith proximal femoral fractures of the subtrochanteric region admitted in the department wereincluded in the study. Patients age more than 25 years and diagnosed with subtrochanteric femurfracture were included in the study. Results: The age of the patients was more than 25 years. Therewere 34 males and 10 females included in the study. In the clinical evaluation as per the functionalGrading of the patient as per Kyle’s Criteria excellent and good results were considered satisfactory,whereas fair and poor results were considered unsatisfactory. In this series 92%, satisfactory resultswere obtained. Conclusion: Proximal femur nail (PFN) is an effective device in the management ofcomplex femoral fractures. The use of PFN in such fractures provides various advantages: Closedprocedure, Minimal soft tissue damage. It offers superior stabilization than other currently usedmethods of internal fixation. The use of PFN is technically demanding and needs expertise.Complications can be avoided by proper operative techniques. Early postoperative mobilization andphysiotherapy improve the results of PFN.

Background: Intertrochantric fractures are the most frequently operated fractures and has the highest mortality and morbidity rates. Evaluation functional outcome of helical fixation pfn a2 in proximal femur fracture in elderly Methods: Hospital based prospective randomized comparative study conducted on 30 patients with  Close  stable &unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture. Results: As per HHS, we have found that 76.67% cases (23) under excellent category and 20.00% (6) good and 3.33% (1) fair of HHS. Conclusion: We can conclude that the PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTIROTATION2 is after proper training and technique a safe and easy implant option for treatment of complex peritertrochanteric fractures.

Background: Hip bone fractures are the main cause of concern on a worldwide level. The main two operative techniques involve dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail technique. Aim: To compare the dynamic hip screw with proximal femoral nail technique in intertrochanteric femur fracture patients. Study design: Retrospective study Place and duration of study: Department of Orthopaedics, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from 1-7-2019 to 30-12- 2021. Methodology: Seventy patients were enrolled and they were divided in two groups; Group 1 patients were operated with dynamic hip screw (DHS) while group 2 patients were operated by proximal femoral nail (PFN) technique. The detailed pre and post-operative clinical information including blood loss, incision size, Harris hip score and rate of complication was documented. Results: The mean age of patients was 58.62±6.71 year with more male patients than females. The Harris hip score of proximal femoral nail technique was better than distal hip screw. The incision length of distal hip screw cases was 7.61±0.89 in comparison to 4.72±0.73 in proximal femoral nail technique cases with a longer duration of surgery and inter-operative blood loss in case of distal hip screw cases. Conclusion: Proximal femoral nail technique is comparatively better than the distal hip screw procedure. Keywords: Proximal femoral nail technique, distal hip screw, Hip fracture
