Abstract Introduction The goal of treatment of an intertrochanteric femoral fracture is restoration of patient's mobility as early as possible. The dynamic hip screw (DHS) has been used for several decades to treat these fractures. Proximal femoral nails (PFN) are reported to have an advantage in such fractures. This study aims at comparing the results of unstable intertrochanteric fractures femur treated with PFN and DHS. Method This was a prospective, randomized study which includes sixty patients. All patients were available for follow up with 30 patients in each group. The data about intraoperative blood loss, time to union, leg length shortening was collected. The functional outcome at the end of one year was evaluated using Harris Hip Score. Results Blood loss, duration of surgery, time to union and leg length shortening was significantly less in the patients treated with PFN (p < 0.05). The mean harris hip score for patients managed with PFN was significantly more than in DHS group, 12 months after surgery (p = 0.05). Conclusions PFN requires a smaller incision, lesser operative time, less blood loss and has improved functional results. In our opinion PFN may be a better fixation device for most of the unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures.
