Key result
Treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures with a proximal femoral nail resulted in a mean modified Harris hip score of 90.6, with 70% of patients achieving excellent functional outcomes.

Does internal fixation with proximal femoral nail improve functional outcomes in patients with subtrochanteric femur fractures?
Proximal femoral nailing provides satisfactory functional outcomes for the management of subtrochanteric femur fractures.
Girish Sahni (2022) conducted an observational in Subtrochanteric femur fracture (n=30). Proximal femoral nail (PFN) was evaluated on Functional outcome by modified Harris Hip Score. Treatment of subtrochanteric femur fractures with a proximal femoral nail resulted in a mean modified Harris hip score of 90.6, with 70% of patients achieving excellent functional outcomes.
