<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Treatment of unstable trochanteric fracture is much more challenging than stable fracture. These fractures require stable fixation to minimize the fracture and implant related complications. Need of this study is to assess the suitable implant for stable fixation of unstable trochanteric fracture with less intra and postoperative complications and good functional outcome.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> In this prospective randomized comparative study, 64 patients were distributed into two groups. Group A consisted of patients treated by proximal femoral nail (PFN) (n=32) and group B treated by dynamic hip screw (DHS) (n=32). All the patients were evaluated preoperatively and surgery was done according to the group they were allotted. Post-operative follow up was done at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Average age of the patients in this study was 51.26±10.24 year. In this study patients were followed up for an average of 10.87±2.61 month. The duration of surgery was shorter in PFN group. Weight bearing was earlier in PFN group than DHS group. Mean functional ability score was better in PFN group with significant gain in function earlier as compared to DHS group.</p><strong>Conclusions:</strong> PFN is a better implant for internal fixation of unstable trochanteric fractures which allows early mobilization and has got better functional outcome score in early postoperative period than DHS

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The incidence of inter trochanteric fracture is expected to have doubled by 2040. Inter trochanteric fractures account for about 45% to 50% of all hip fractures in the elderly populationand out of these, near about 50% to 60% are classified as unstable intertrochanteric fractures. The goal of treatment is restoring mobility safely and efficiently, while minimizing the risk of medical complications and technical failure. This study as performed<strong> </strong>to assess functional outcome with dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail in intertrochanteric fracture management.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> It was prospective observational study done for a period of 1year from January 2016-January 2017 among patients who attended OPD or emergency department with intertrochanteric fracture. Two different implants were used dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail (PFN).<strong></strong></p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Excellent results in functional outcome was more in case of PFN (66.6%) compared to DHS (50%). The type of trauma in DHS group was road traffic accident in 38.8%, domestic fall in 50% and others such as assault was in 11.1% while in PFN group intertrochanteric fracture was seen in 61.1% due to domestic fall.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The functional outcome was more better with proximal femoral nail (PFN) compared to dynamic hip screw (DHS). Therefore, proximal femoral nail (PFN) should be preferred for management of intertrochanteric fractures.</p>

Background: Inter-trochanteric fracture of femur causes significant morbidity and mortality in elderly. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) fixation is the most effective and safe method of treatment. Conventional open technique (CDHS) is the popular and familiar one; however, minimal incision technique (MIDHS) has many advantages like: smaller incision, lesser dissection/blood loss, less requirement of transfusion, less painful, faster recovery etc. Objectives: To Compare CDHS and MIDHS technique of DHS fixation for inter-trochanteric fracture femur in terms of functional outcome, safety and associated complications (if any). Methods: Eligible patients presenting within study period were randomized into CDHS group (n= 33) and MIDHS group (n= 32). Success of randomization was tested by analyzing demographics, injury characteristics and pre-op. clinical data (p> 0.05). They were followed up at 2, 6, 12, 24 and 52 weeks post-op. for clinico-radiological and functional assessment. Results: The duration of surgery, lag screw positioning, post-operative hospital stay and surgical site infection were not significantly different between the groups. However, need for blood transfusion, length of incision and post-operative VAS score for pain were significantly lesser for MIDHS group than CDHS group (p< 0.05). Patients in MIDHS group started walking with aids significantly earlier in post-operative recovery period. The Harris Hip Score at final follow-up and grading of the results and surgical complications were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: The minimal incision technique had various immediate / short term advantages over conventional technique; like: minimal scar, minimal soft tissue dissection / less blood loss requiring less transfusion, lesser pain in post-operative period and ability to ambulate early.
