Proximal Femoral Nail available for both Left and Right. 4.9 mm Locking Bolt Sizes: Length from 22 to 100 mm in both stainless Steel and Titanium. 6.4 mm Bolt Sizes: Length from 55 to 130 mm in both stainless Steel and Titanium.

Cephalomedullary nailing using PFN-A is superior to PFN in terms of a lesser procedure time, minimal blood loss, and fewer complications even among osteoporotic patients. The radiological specifications such as neck-shaft angle post-surgery, reduction type, TAD, and Cleveland index is of paramount importance which is established in this study.

Aug 3, 2024 · Proximal femoral nail (PFN) fixation is a surgical procedure and a closed intramedullary fixation method for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures with a specially designed osteosynthetic implant, the proximal femoral nail.

The original PFN allowed fracture stabilization with a load bearing sliding screw and with an additional hip pin for rotational stability of the head-neck fragment. The new PFNA System with the unique spiral blade has a comparable rotational stability as the PFN.

This study was conducted to compare the functional and radiological outcome of Proximal femoral nail (PFN) with Dynamic hip screw (DHS) in treatment of Type II intertrochanteric fractures (Boyd and Griffin classification).

Standard PFN is available in 125°/130°/135°. If possible, carry out closed reduction of the fracture under image inten-sifier control. Exact reduction and secure fixation of the patient to the operating table are essential for easy handling and a good surgical result.

A proximal femoral nail (PFN) fixation is one of the surgical treatments for proximal femoral fractures and is used in this case. Implant position, fragment position and fracture healing can be evaluated with an anteroposterior view and lateral radiograph of the implant.

In 1996, the AO/ASIF developed the proximal femoral nail (PFN) as an intramedullary device for the treatment of unstable per-, intra- and subtrochanteric femoral fractures. In a prospective study, we treated 55 patients having proximal femoral fractures with the PFN from 1997 to 2000.

PFN comprise of an intramedullary nail with two screws of which one is the lag screw settling the fracture as it collapses and other is antirotation screw giving the rotational stability. Aim of our study is to analyze both the intramedullary devices as …

Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) is a recently introduced implant from AO/ASIF designed to compact the cancellous bone and may be particularly useful in unstable and osteoporotic hip fractures.
