Functional Outcome Of Unstable Trochateric Fracture Treated By PFNA2, Thesis
The Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation 2 (PFNA2) is a commonly used implant for treating unstable trochateric fractures. Studies have shown that it generally provides excellent to good functional outcomes in most patients. This is often assessed using measures such as the Harris Hip Score, which evaluates pain, function, and range of motion. However, individual outcomes may vary depending on factors like patient age, overall health, and the severity of the fracture. It's important to consult with an orthopedic surgeon for personalized information and to discuss any concerns you may have.
