Comparative Assessment of Functional Recovery Following Dynamic Hip Screw Plate versus Proximal Femoral Nail Fixation in the Management of Unstable Trochanteric Fractures of the Femur

Background: Unstable trochanteric fractures include posteromedial comminution, reverse oblique pattern, lateral wall fracture and subtrochanteric extension. Unstable trochanteric fractures usually can be treated by anatomical reduction with the use of a sliding hip screw or cephalomedullary nail. DH...
