The proximal femoral universal nail system (PFUN): a novel intramedullary nail for treating complex proximal femoral fractures and its biomechanical comparison with the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA)
Our results showed that PFUN had better biomechanical performance than PFNA, especially for complex proximal femoral fractures with medial wall fracture and lateral wall fracture, indicating that the PFUN had great potential as a new fixation strategy in future clinical applications.
