Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures with Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) versus Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) - A Comparative Study

Hip fractures, particularly intertrochanteric fractures, pose significant challenges due to their association with disability, mortality, and economic burden, especially among the elderly population. Trochanteric fractures primarily occur due to low-energy falls, which are more frequent in elder individuals with age-related impairments in vision, hearing, and reflexes.This prospective study aimed to compare the outcomes of Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) versus Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation in unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
