The use of sliding hip screw versus Targon proximal femoral nail in the treatment of unstable pertrochanteric fractures AO:31-A2. A prospective randomized trial.
This study aimed at investigating the functional outcome after using either a Targon proximal femoral nail versus sliding hip screw in the treatment of pertrochanteric fractures with posteromedial comminution AO:31-A2. Methods: Twenty-six patients were prospectively randomized into either Targon PFN or SHS fixation group. Our primary outcome was the hip function measured by Harris hip score at six months follow ...
