Outcome of PFN Proximal Femoral Nail in Type I & II Intertrochanteric Fractures of Femur

Abstract

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are normal in the act of muscular health. The objective of the executives in patients with intertrochanteric fractures is to accomplish early activation. As a result of its high resilience and low difficulty rate, proximal femoral nailing (PFN) is acquiring prevalence. The motivation behind this study was to decide the useful result of patients with intertrochanteric fractures treated with PFN. Aim and objectives: The objectives are as per the following: (1) To decide the useful result of patients treated with PFN for intertrochanteric breaks. (2) To recognize entanglements in PFN patients. Materials and Methods: A total 98 patients with intertrochanteric fractures who matched the inclusion and exclusion criteria for this prospective analysis were enrolled. From January 2018 to December 2022, the study was carried out in the orthopaedics division of Dr. Sirajul Islam Medical College & Hospital in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Under spinal anesthesia, closed reduction and internal fixation are carried out. Open reduction was employed when closed reduction was impractical. Functional outcome was evaluated using the Harris hip score. That hospital's statistical study was finished, and P0.05 was deemed statistically significant. Results: Out of 98 cases contemplated, 57 (58.16%) were males and 41 (41.84%) were females was collected at the emergency hospital. The most well-known kind of Fracture was Kyle's type I , which was seen in 32 patients (32.65%), trailed by Kyle's type II in 43 (44.89%) patients, while fair and unfortunate results were found in 14 (14.28%) and 6 patients, separately. Extremely unfortunate result was found in 3 (3.06%) patients. Conclusion: PFN is an incredible procedure for treating intertrochanteric cracks. It is related with a great result in most of cases and negligible difficulties.
