Proximal femoral nail in intertrochanteric femoral fractures.

Introduction: Proximal femoral nails (PFN) have been introduced recently but have begun to compete the traditional dynamic hip screw. The mechanical strength of the nail and less invasive procedure has made the procedure preferable. This is a short retrospective review of 26 cases operated in the last two years.

Treatment of intertrochanteric femoral fractures with a proximal femoral nail (PFN): a short follow up.

Proximal femoral nails have been introduced relatively recently but have begun to compete the traditional DHS. The mechanical strength of the nail and less invasive procedure have made the procedure preferable. This is a short retrospective review of 26 cases operated in the last 2years.

Fixation of extra articular distal radial fractures with non bridging external fixator.

Severely comminuted fractures of distal radius often lead to impairment of wrist function. A prospective study was performed on 30 patients aged between 35-65 years of extra-articular fractures of distal radius. All patients were treated with closed manipulation of the fracture an application of non-bridging (radio radial) external fixator under radiological control.
