Implication

May support proximal femoral nailing in proximal third femur fractures; hypothesis-generating pending randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Does proximal femoral nailing improve clinical outcomes in patients with proximal third femur fractures?

P
Population
n=30 patients with proximal femur fractures (8 with intertrochanteric fracture and 22 with subtrochanteric fracture)
I
Intervention
Proximal femoral nailing (PFN)
O
Outcome
Clinical assessment as per Harris Hip score and x-ray AP/LAT view of hip with femurpatient reported

Proximal femoral nailing is an effective and safe procedure for proximal third femur fractures, yielding excellent to good functional results in the majority of patients.
