PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL VERSUS DYNAMIC HIP SCREW FOR INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES – A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Abstract

The present study includes the clinical outcome of intertrochanteric fractures treated with proximal femoral nail (PFN) and dynamic hip screws (DHS).This study focuses on Comparative study of PFN and  DHS in  the management of fractures of intertrochanteric region.The main goal of the treatment is to achieve best anatomical, stable reduction along with early mobilization of the patient and to prevent deformity of the limb especially at the hip and  to  achieve fracture union by using two  different kind  of internal fixation modality devices in similar type of fractures
