Objectives Using proximal femoral nailing (PFN) in the lateral decubitus (lateral) position
may be an option when no traction table is available. We hypothesized that applying PFN …

Abstract Introduction Tip Apex distance (TAD) is well established method of prediction of
outcome in intertrochanteric fractures managed by Dynamic Hip Screw. This retrospective …

Trochanteric hip fractures have become very common with 35-40% of these fractures being
unstable. Trochanteric fractures, especially unstable ones are associated with high rates of …

Objectives This study aims to compare the mechanical features of the existing proximal
femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) system and the new PFNA system that we designed using …

Background: Older adults who sustain hip fractures usually have multiple comorbidities that
may impact their treatment and outcome. This study aims to analyze the risk factors that …

Introduction: As the geriatric population increases, the incidence of intertrochanteric
fractures (ITF) has also increased significantly. There are various modalities to treat these …

Background: Older adults who sustain hip fractures usually have multiple comorbidities that
may impact their treatment and outcome. This study was conducted with the aim to analyze …

Background Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures in the elderly demand surgical intervention for
optimal recovery. While dynamic hip screw (DHS) is standard for stable fractures, its use in …

Neck of femur fracture and trochanteric fractures are the most frequent and typical major
injuries in fragility fracture patients. The goal of treatment is to allow early mobilization and …

Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip,
especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like …
