Abstract: Background: Management of intertrochanteric fractures have been evolved from extra medullary implants to intramedullary implants. Intramedullary implants have proven advantage over their counterpart in terms of stable anatomical fixation and better functional outcome. Among the intramedullary implants, Proximal Femur Nail (PFN) & Proximal Femur Nail Anti Rotation for Asia (PFNA2) have been traditionally used. This study is based on the comparison between these two intramedullary implants in terms of clinical and functional outcome.
Materials and Methods: A total of 40 patients fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups PFN (n= 20), PFNA2 (n=20) between April 2017 to May 2018. They were compared in terms of demography, per operative variables, postoperative functional outcome and were followed up for a period of 6 months postoperatively.
