Abstract: Introduction: proximal femoral nail is widely using implant in treatment of trochanteric fracture of femur. Various study has been done of functional outcome of PFN. The aim of study to know the functional outcome of proximal femoral nailing in trochanteric fracture.
Material and Method: The study was done in rajshree medical college and hospital during period of 8 month. Fracture classification according to AO the functional outcome evaluated by the harris hip score.
Result: 40 patients of either sex with trochanteric fracture were studied up to 8 month. The largest age group of patient was 51 to 60 year. Young patient due to road traffic accident. Male are more than female. Reduction achieved in traction table by closed method in which failed open reduction done. The complication rate was around 20%.the fictional outcome by Harris hip score excellent in 22 pt.
Conclusion: Proximal femoral nail is technically demanding implant. With proper method it’s give excellent results.
