Proximal femoral nailing is an effective implant for subtrochanteric femur fractures, achieving 100% union and satisfactory functional outcomes with early mobilization.
Samynathan et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Subtrochanteric femur fracture (n=30). Proximal femoral nail (PFN) was evaluated on Fracture union. Treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures with a proximal femoral nail resulted in 100% fracture union and satisfactory functional outcomes, allowing early and stable mobilization.
