Comparison of Functional Outcomes Between Short and Long Cephalomedullary Nails in Intertrochanteric Femur Fractures in Elderly Patients

This study contributes to the existing body of evidence by demonstrating that both short and long CMNs are viable treatment options for trochanteric fractures. However, our findings indicate that short CMNs may offer certain advantages, including reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative time, and improved functional outcomes as assessed by the HHS.

Abstract

This study contributes to the existing body of evidence by demonstrating that both short and long CMNs are viable treatment options for trochanteric fractures. However, our findings indicate that short CMNs may offer certain advantages, including reduced intraoperative blood loss, shorter operative time, and improved functional outcomes as assessed by the HHS.
