Abstract

Background: In elderly patients, unstable intertrochanteric fractures (ITFs) pose significant challenges in orthopedic management; however, the treatment strategies for optimal functional outcomes remain uncertain. Thus, this study aimed to compare the functional outcomes of cemented bipolar prosthesis and proximal femoral nailing (PFN) using the Harris Hip Score (HHS).
