    Abstract

    Intertrochanteric fractures are defined as extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur that occur between the greater and lesser trochanter and are extremely common fractures occurring in elderly osteoporotic individuals. Although there are multiple studies comparing PFN with other intra-medullary devices like Gamma nail, PFNA, limited studies are available which compares treatment outcomes of proximal femoral nail with lag screw and proximal femoral nail with helical blade.
