FUNCTIONAL AND RADIOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF COMPONENT POSITION IN TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY USING 2D COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in tyupe 1 and Type 2 intertrochanteric fractures (Boyd and Griffin classification). This study was done to compare the functional and radiological outcome of PFN with DHS in treatment of type1 and Type 2 intertrochanteric fractures.
