RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of proximal femoral nail anti rotation intramedullary nail (PFNA)in the treatment of intertrochanteric osteoporotic fractures in elderly patients.Methods 42 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with proximal femoral nail anti rotation intramedullary nail (PFNA)in cases (AO type,A1 type 13 cases,A2 type 24 cases,type A3 5 cases).Results The group of 42 patients after 12 -36 months of follow -up,the average follow -up time of 18 months,all the patients were healed,1 case of deep venous thrombosis,1 case of mild coxa vara.According to the Harris evaluation standard:excellent 32 cases,good in 9 cases,fair in 1 case,the excellent rate was 97.6%.Conclusion The proximal femoral nail anti rotation (PFNA) anti tensile,anti sliding and anti rotation function is good,and has the advantages of simple operation,small trauma,for osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture patients can be applied.
