The effect comparsion of modified proximal femoral nail antirotation with dynamic hip screw in the treatment of femoral trochanter fractures

Objective:To compare the clinical effects of proximal femoral nail antirotation(PFNA) with dynamic hip screw(DHS) in the treatment of femoral trochanter fractures.Methods:Intraoperative and postoperative complications and postoperative hip joint function recovery of 29 cases treated with PFNA(PFNA group) and 36 cases treated with DHS(DHS group) were analyzed.Results:Compared with DHS group,the time of operation and ambulation and intraoperative bleeding in PFNA group were less(P 0.01).The differences of the healing time of fracture and excellent rate of Harris score in two group were not statistically significant(P 0.05).Conclusions:PFNA is easy operating,less trauma and bleeding and tight fixation.Postoperative patients can early ambulate.PFNA is a ideal means for treating femoral trochanter fractures.
