Abstract

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures are one of the most prevalent injuries in the elderly, especially in women and those with osteoporosis. About 50% of intertrochanteric fractures are comminuted and unstable. Therefore, treatment is challenging. They were treated at our facility with either Dynamic Condylar Screw (DCS) fixation or Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN). The investigation was carried out to determine which form of surgical fixing provides the best functional result.
