| Abstract Background: The subtrochanteric fractures are the fractures occurring in the region of the proximal femur extending from the distal end of the lesser trochanter by 5 cm. Aim: In this study we aimed to assess fixation of subtrochanteric fracture femur by comparing two methods of fixation, proximal femoral nail PFN (group A) versus dynamic condylar screw (group B). Methods: This was prospective study; the ongoing study was held in Al-Salam insurance hospital Port Said in the period from October 2021 to October 2022. It was a prospective study that included 30 cases with subtrochanteric femoral fracture. Results: Patients treated by either of these two methods were statistically analyzed for comparing advantages and disadvantages in terms of operation time, intra and post-operative blood loss, duration of hospital stay, union time and Harris hip score. Conclusion: The results of subtrochanteric fracture fixation by intramedullary P.F.N or D.C.S were not quite different. The results of P.F.N group were better in terms of intra-operative, post-operative blood loss, intra-operative time, duration of hospital stay and Harris hip score. | ||
