Overview

Study compares surgical outcomes of PFNA2 and PFN implants in elderly patients with challenges, suggesting better efficacy for PFNA2.

Key Points

  • The PFNA2 implant exhibits superior functional outcomes, with a statistically significant MHHS of 0.0065 after 6 months.
  • Complications between PFNA2 and PFN show a notable difference, with p-value of 0.034 indicating significant advantages.
  • Statistical analysis revealed no significance in neck-shaft angle between groups, p=0.79, implying equal fracture alignment.
  • Patients receiving PFNA2 reported less blood loss and operative time, emphasizing its effectiveness in treating unstable fractures.
