Cephalomedullary Nail versus Sliding Hip Screw for Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures in Elderly Patients
Purpose. To compare the short-term ambulatory function of elderly patients after fixation of unstable intertrochanteric fractures with either the AO-ASIF proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) device or the dynamic hip screw (DHS). Methods. 63 patients aged ≥60 years underwent fixation for unsta...
