Assessing potential factors leading to perioperative peri-implant fracture in femoral pertrochanteric fracture osteosynthesis using the proximal femoral nail antirotation 2: A retrospective study
Although PFNA-2 nails are reliable in managing FPFs, the persistence of PPIFs emphasizes their complex causes. This study highlights that younger age and increased femoral DI are crucial factors for PPIF occurrence in patients with PFNA-2-treated FPF. Conservative treatment with delayed weight-bearing ambulation may be effective in treating these fractures.
