Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical and functional outcomes of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in Samutsakhon hospital’s patients, during January 2016 – December 2019.

Methods: This study retrospectively reviewed 85 consecutive patients with  intertrochanteric femoral fractures who were treated with DHS (n=40) or PFNA (n=45). This study  evaluated operation time, intraoperative blood loss, pain after surgery,  fracture union, sliding of hip screw, hospital stay and presence of complications.

Results: The mean operation time (p = 0.001), blood losses(p=0.039), pain score, time to union(p=0.03) were significantly lower for the PFNA group, but hospital stay (p=0.21) and sliding of hip screw (p=0.815) decreased to a similar  for both groups.

Conclusion: Treatment of  intertrochanteric fracture, PFNA is better than DHS in term of  less blood loss, shorter operation time, less severe pain after surgery and shorter union time when compare to DHS.
