Comparison of proximal femoral universal nail and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation internal fixation for older patients with intertrochanteric femoral fracture: a retrospective cohort study
The PFUN is an effective and safe internal fixation device for IFFs, especially for unstable medial and lateral wall fractures. Compared to PFNA, PFUN can significantly reduce the rate of implant failure in IFFs and accelerate postoperative rehabilitation. For IFFs with AO/OTA classifications of 31-A2 and A3, PFUN has a greater advantage than PFNA.
