Comprehensive clinical and biomechanical study reveals that PFNA nail position minimally affects bone healing in fractures, suggesting fewer adjustments needed during surgery.
The position of the PFNA nail has only a minimal impact on fixation stability and stress distribution around the femoral head in stable intertrochanteric fractures. Therefore, intraoperative guidewire adjustments are unnecessary when treating such stable fractures with PFNA.
