Brief Summary  

Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures in Orthopaedics, particularly in the geriatric age group. Majority of the elderly population is osteoporotic, so they are generally more prone and can sustain the fracture even with a minor fall.

Trochanteric fractures unite readily, but if there is failure in maintaining the alignment these can malunite. Surgical treatment has been accepted as the standard protocol of management of intertrochanteric fractures throughout the world.  

DHS (Dynamic Hip Screw) is the most commonly used extramedullary implant. It has stood the test of time and has continued to be the gold standard in the management of intertrochanteric fractures, especially stable fractures.

Introduction of intra-medullary concept and devices, Gamma nail in 1988 & later proximal femoral nail (PFN) in 1996 by AO/ASIF group, the intramedullary devices have gained attention and popularity globally.

PFN (Proximal Femoral Nail) is an intramedullary device, it was designed to overcome the implant related complications of DHS and to facilitate the surgical management of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. Advantages  are – better biomechanical strength, shorter duration of surgery, preservation of fracture biology, earlier weight bearing, smaller incision and less wound related complications.

With time implant underwent more changes and finally Proximal Femoral Nail with Helical Blade was introduced in 2003. The helical blade of PFN achieves better cancellous bone compaction in femoral neck (particularly in osteoporotics), thereby decreasing the risk of secondary displacement, and it has superior resistance to rotation and varus collapse as compared to conventional PFN. The new PFNA device ensures reliable fixation with low mechanical complications.

A study is however needed to confirm the superior biomechanical performance of PFN with helical blade (PFNA) by assessing the functional outcomes, clinical and radiological results in the patients with intertrochanteric fractures.

In our study we will assess functional outcome using radiological and clinical evaluation at our centre i.e. RMCH, Bareilly , U.P.
