Overview

Retrospective analysis compares lengthened proximal femoral nail antirotation and InterTan outcomes in elderly patients, indicating differences in hip function.

Key Points

  • InterTan group achieved higher Harris hip scores, indicating better hip function compared to the PFNA group at 3 months postoperatively.
  • Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences in operation time, blood loss, or fracture reduction quality between both groups.
  • Both lengthened PFNA and InterTan provided effective fixation and treatment results for elderly patients with subtrochanteric femur fractures.
  • Follow-up data confirmed that both methods are associated with low failure rates and effective healing in elderly patients.
