Comparison of the Outcomes of the Proximal Femur Plate (PFP) and Proximal Femoral Nail (PFN) in a Patient Presenting With Trochanteric Femur Fracture

While SSI rates were similar between the groups, PFP demonstrated shorter operative time and earlier fracture union compared to PFN. These findings suggest that PFP may be considered in selected stable fracture patterns, particularly in resource-constrained settings, whereas PFN remains the preferred option for unstable fractures.

Abstract

While SSI rates were similar between the groups, PFP demonstrated shorter operative time and earlier fracture union compared to PFN. These findings suggest that PFP may be considered in selected stable fracture patterns, particularly in resource-constrained settings, whereas PFN remains the preferred option for unstable fractures.
