Subtrochanteric fractures of the femur occur in an area with high mechanical stresses both axial and torsional. Consequently, optimum reduction and fixation are essential to avoid complications of implant failure and nonunion. Closed reduction can be difficult due to the effect of pulling forces from different muscle groups. Intramedullary devices...

p class="abstract"> Background: This study is intended to analyse the functional outcome of proximal femoral nailing (PFN) for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly. Methods: The data was collected from the 35 patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fracture who were subjected to PFN from 2015 to 2018. All patients were followed up...
