Outcome of Stainless Steel Proximal Femoral Nailing in Inter-Trochanteric Fractures of Femur
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 11
Abstract
Inter-trochanteric fractures of the femur are commonly seen in the elderly. Surgical fixation of these fractures significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality in the elderly by avoiding complications arising out of prolonged bed rest. Several implants have been designed for the treatment of these fractures. In this study we analyzed the functional and radiological outcome in inter-trochanteric fractures fixed with stainless steel proximal femoral nail. We concluded that stainless steel proximal femoral nail is an ideal implant for the fixation of these fractures.
