Abstract
Objective To explore the effectiveness of irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture in the elderly by treating with folding top technique and right-angle pliers prying and pulling under G-arm X-ray fluoroscopy. Methods The clinical data of 74 elderly patients with irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture admitted between February 2016 and December 2022 and met the selection criteria were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 38 cases were treated with folding top technique combined with right-angle pliers prying and pulling under G-arm X-ray fluoroscopy and intramedullary nailing fixation (study group), and 36 cases were treated with limited open reduction combined with other reduction methods and intramedullary nailing fixation (control group). There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups, such as age, gender, cause of injury, affected side and classification of fractures, complicated medical diseases, and time from injury to operation ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, fracture reduction time, fracture healing time, and complications of the two groups were recorded and compared. The quality of fracture reduction was evaluated by Baumgaertner et al. and Chang et al. fracture reduction standards. Results Patients in both groups were followed up 10-14 months, with an average of 12 months. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in the study group were significantly less than those in the control group ( P<0.05), there was no significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). At 2 days after operation, according to the fracture reduction standards of Baumgaertner et al. and CHANG Shimin et al., the quality of fracture reduction in the study group was better than that in the control group, and the fracture reduction time in the study group was shorter than that in the control group, with significant differences ( P<0.05). After operation, the fractures of the two groups all healed, and there was no significant difference in healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). During the follow-up, there was no complication such as incision infection, internal fixation failure, deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs, intramedullary nail breakage, spiral blade cutting, or hip varus in the two groups, except for 2 cases of coxa vara in the control group. Conclusion For the irreducible intertrochanteric femoral fracture, using folding top technique combined with right-angle pliers prying and pulling under G-arm X-ray fluoroscopy can obviously shorten the operation time, reduce the intraoperative blood loss, and improve the quality of fracture reduction.

Abstract
An intertrochanteric fracture is a prevalent and perilous kind of fracture that often affects older persons. A customized implant, proximal femoral nail anti-rotation Asia (PFNA2) is being used expressly in unstable intertrochanteric fractures in people with osteoporosis. In this case report, we examined a female osteoporosis patient, age 74, who underwent a failed PFNA2 procedure. Subsequently, the patient had bipolar hemiarthroplasty as a treatment. To prevent mechanical failure, it is crucial to strive for a high level of reduction quality and precise alignment of the central blade throughout hip X-ray procedures. Improved surgical proficiency and skill are crucial for managing patients with severe osteoporosis and prolonged weight-bearing requirements, hence reducing the occurrence of postoperative problems. Depending on the cause of the failure and the individual circumstances of the patient when internal fixation fails, it is recommended to either replace the joint with a prosthetic or reapply fixation. These interventions may facilitate the production of beneficial healing outcomes.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate effectiveness of proximal femur bionic nail (PFBN) in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly compared to the proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 48 geriatric patients with intertrochanteric fractures, who met the selection criteria and were admitted between January 2020 and December 2022. Among them, 24 cases were treated with PFBN fixation after fracture reduction (PFBN group), and 24 cases were treated with PFNA fixation (PFNA group). There was no significant difference in baseline data such as age, gender, cause of injury, side and type of fracture, time from injury to operation, and preoperative mobility score, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, Alzheimer's disease degree scoring, self-care ability score, osteoporosis degree (T value), and combined medical diseases between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, number of blood transfusions, transfusion volume, length of hospital stay, occurrence of complications, weight-bearing time after operation, and postoperative visual analogue scale (VAS) score, walking ability score, mobility score, self-care ability score were recorded and compared between the two groups. And the radiographic assessment of fracture reduction quality and postoperative stability, and fracture healing time were recorded. Results The operations in both groups were successfully completed. All patients were followed up 6-15 months with an average time of 9.8 months in PFBN group and 9.6 months in PFNA group. The operation time was significantly longer in PFBN group than in PFNA group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, number of blood transfusions, transfusion volume, length of hospital stay, change in activity ability score, and change in self-care ability score between the two groups ( P>0.05). The weight-bearing time after operation was significantly shorter in PFBN group than in PFNA group ( P<0.05), and the postoperative VAS score and walking ability score were significantly better in PFBN group than in PFNA group ( P<0.05). Radiographic assessment showed no significant difference in fracture reduction scores and postoperative stability scores between the two groups ( P>0.05). All fractures healed and there was no significant difference in fracture healing time between the two groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of complications was significantly lower in PFBN group (16.7%, 4/24) than in PFNA group (45.8%, 11/24) ( P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with PFNA, PFBN in the treatment of elderly intertrochanteric fractures can effectively relieve postoperative pain, shorten bed time, reduce the risk of complications, and facilitate the recovery of patients' hip joint function and walking ability.

Abstract
To observe the effect of iliac fascia space block combined with esketamine intravenous general anesthesia in proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) of the elderly. Eighty elderly patients who underwent PFNA were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the experimental group, iliac fascial block combined with esketamine and propofol intravenous general anesthesia was used to keep spontaneous breathing. The control group used iliac fascia block combined with remifentanil and propofol intravenous general anesthesia to maintain spontaneous breathing. Record important indexes such as heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), visual analogue score (VAS) scores, etc. at different moment during the operation. Trial data showed that there were significant differences in HR, MAP, and SpO2 between the two groups at the beginning of operation, and there was no significant difference in VAS scores between the two groups at each moment after surgery, and there were significant differences in the number of vasopressor applications, length of hospital stay, and QoR-15 scores between the two groups, and there were significant differences in the incidence of total adverse reactions and the incidence of hypotension. The trial indicated that patients in the experimental group have more stable hemodynamics and lower stress response, which is conducive to rapid recovery after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the differences between proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and dynamic hip screw (DHS) in treatment of femoral trochanteric fracture and analyze the factors influencing recovery after PFNA treatment. METHODS Eighty-six patients with femoral trochanteric fracture admitted to Taizhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine between January 2019 and June 2021 were enrolled in the study and assigned into a PFNA group and DHS group (n=43 in each group) before undergoing these treatments. The clinical efficacy, inflammatory factors, and myocardial injury markers were compared between the two groups. The influencing factors on recovery after PFNA treatment were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS Compared to the DHS group, the PFNA group had shorter surgical time, length of stay in hospital, postoperative weight-bearing time, time of healing and detumescence, and less intraoperative blood loss (all P<0.001). The incidence of post-surgical complications with PFNA was lower than with DHS (P<0.05). The serum levels of interleukin-6, C-reactive protein and tumor necrosis factor-αof the PFNA group were lower than those of the DHS group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the serum levels of cardiac troponin T, creatine kinase-MB and myoglobin in the PFNA group were also lower than for the DHS (all P<0.05). At the first, third, and sixth months after surgery, the Harris scores for PFNA were higher than for DHS (all P<0.05). The univariate and multivariate analysis showed that instability of fracture, history of osteoporosis, excessive intraoperative bleeding, poor compliance with rehabilitation exercise, and long time from injury to surgery were risk factors for poor recovery following PFNA treatment for patients with femoral trochanteric fracture. CONCLUSION Compared to DHS, PFNA had better clinical efficacy and gave lower serum levels of inflammatory factors and myocardial injury markers. Fracture classification, history of osteoporosis, intraoperative amount of bleeding, compliance of rehabilitation exercise, and time from injury to surgery were closely associated with recovery following PFNA treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Femoral intertrochanteric fractures (ITF) occur frequently in the elderly, accounting for 45% of all hip fractures. Postoperative anemia after fracture tends to cause ischemia, hypoxia in cells, tissues and organs, increasing the rate of blood transfusion, risk of infection, disability and mortality. Meanwhile, traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the treatment of anemia for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis. METHODS This study is a prospective, outcome assessor-, and data analyst-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial. The objective of this proposed study was to investigate whether Shengyu Decoction could improve the symptoms of anemia after proximal femoral nail antirotation in elderly ITF patients. After qualifying for screening, patients will be randomized into 2 groups with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Hemoglobin concentration, HBL, and HHS score are outcome measurements. The other outcomes also included time to get out of bed, discharge to home, 30-day readmission rates, and mortality. DISCUSSION ITF is commonly occurring in senior citizens, and those who are senior in age generally suffer 1 or more basic diseases, whose nutritional status is already poor. Trauma and surgical stimulation not only aggravate the existing disease or induce corresponding cardiovascular complications, but also worsen the nutritional status, which can easily cause postoperative anemia in patients. Because of the limited clinical modalities available for the treatment of postoperative anemia after fracture surgery, and most of them have various side effects that are not easily tolerated by the elderly. Therefore, from a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, we proposed a protocol using mild Chinese herbal decoction to treat postoperative anemia in ITF.Registration number: OSF Registration number: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/JQ6ZF.

Abstract
Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) has been commonly used to treat intertrochanteric fractures, despite the risk of implant failure. The integrity of the femur could influence the risk of implant failure. This study evaluated the influence of lateral femoral wall thickness on the potential of implant failure. A finite element model of the hip was reconstructed from the Computed Tomography of a female patient. Five intertrochanteric fracture models at different lateral femoral wall thickness (T1 = 27.6 mm, T2 = 25.4 mm, T3 = 23.4 mm, T4 = 21.4 mm, and T5 = 19.3 mm) were then created and fixed with PFNA. We simulated a critical loading condition by a high loading case during walking. Elastoplastic material models with yield stress and failure strain were applied to the bone and implant in which breakage can be simulated using the element deletion function. In addition, the stress and displacement of the implant and femur were analysed. Implant breakage occurred at the sides of the proximal nail canal in cases of T4 and T5 which was further supported by the higher maximum von Mises stress and nail displacement. The increased stress and displacement of the implant may implicate a reduction of stability and risk of implant failure. We suggested that precaution shall be taken when the wall thickness was less than 21.4 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of HR and PFNA in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. METHODS We carried out this review according to the principle of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guideline. The clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective cohort studies, retrospective cohort studies (RCSs), and case-control studies involving HR and PFNA in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly from 2000 to 2020 were compared by searching Web of Science, Pubmed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase. The quality of the included cohort study (CS) lines was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The quality of the included RCT lines was evaluated using Jadad. Forest plots were drawn by RevMan5.4 software based on the results and the data were analyzed. RESULTS After screening, a total of 9 articles were included, of which one was a clinical RCT and eight were RCSs with 1374 patients. The operative time of the PFNA group was shorter [WMD = 15.20; 95% CI (13.17, 17.23), P < .05] and the intraoperative blood loss was less [WMD = 178.81; 95% CI (97.24, 260.38), P < .05] than the HR group, while the first weight-bearing time of the HR group was shorter [WMD = -7.70; 95% CI (-10.54, -4.86), P < .05] than the PFNA group. There was no significant difference in the length of hospital stay, HHS, postoperative orthopedic complications, and postoperative medical complications between the 2 groups. CONCLUSION With the development of HR technology and minimally invasive technology, the trauma caused by surgery is decreasing. Under the premise of improving perioperative management, such as optimizing the preoperative preparation and postoperative management, shortening the operative time, reducing intraoperative blood loss, and actively managing co-existing diseases, HR has more advantages than PFNA in the treatment of senile intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Normally taking the surgery is the standard treatment, between sliding hip screw (SHS) and utilizing proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) for intramedullary fixation, it is still not certain which one work better for this type of fracture. Our purpose for this study was to determine the optimum choice of implant for a patient with an unstable intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS In our hospital, a reflective analysis was conducted of all unstable intertrochanteric fractures treated with either a SHS or PFNA fixation between February 2015 and February 2018. The rules of choosing patients were the following: older age of more than 60, unstable intertrochanteric fractures, and willingness to take clinical and radiographic follow-up researches for over 12 months. In this case, patients bearing former hip surgery at any side were removed from the candidates. Demographic characteristics collected effective information including gender, date of operation, and other relevant information. Postoperative outcome measures included operation time, total blood loss amount, validated mobility score, surgery-related syndrome, and tip-apex length. The patients were re-examined at three time periods: 3 weeks, 3 months, and 1 year. The result of P < .05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULTS We were able to directly compare the outcomes of PFNA vs SHS techniques and might reveal a better technique in treatment of an unstable intertrochanteric fracture. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study protocol has been registered in Research Registry (researchregistry6057).

This study aimed to compare the early outcome of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BPH) in elderly intertrochanteric fractures (ITFs) patients aged 85 years or more.This is a prospective cohort study, and we analyzed 120 elderly patients aged 85 years or more presented with ITFs who underwent BPH and PFNA between January 2017 and July 2018. 84 patients treated with PFNA were set as Group A, and 36 patients treated with BPH were set as Group B. Data such as gender, age, period of follow-up, fracture classification (according to Evans-Jensen classification), preoperative ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status, interval between injury and operation, method of anaesthesia, duration of operation time, blood loss during surgery, time of weight bearing after operation, incidence of complications 2 weeks after operation, mortality rates and Harris Hip Score 12 months after operation were recorded and compared.There are no statistically significant differences when compared general data in patients from group A and B (P > .05). Operation time in Group A is less than Group B (103.33, 40-230 min vs 122.64, 75-180 minute, P < .01). Blood loss during surgery in Group A is less than Group B (70.24, 50-100 mL vs 194.44, 100-500 mL, P < .01). Time of weight bearing after operation in Group A is longer than Group B (50.70, 7-100 days vs 6.67, 4-14 days, P < .01). Incidence of complications 2 weeks after operation in Group A is less than Group B (14.12% vs 36.11%, P < .01). Mortality rates 12 months after operation in Group A is similar with Group B (13.10% vs 19.44%, P > .05). Harris Hip Score 12 months after operation in Group A is similar with Group B (64.64,0-91 points vs 64.41, 0-90 points, P > .05).Although BPH and PFNA have similar functional outcome and mortality rates 12 months after operation, BPH has more postoperative complications in elderly patients aged 85 years or more with ITFs, Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty should not be selected as the primary option for ITFs in elderly patients aged 85 years or more.

Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery is a very rare complication of intertrochanteric fracture. Here, the case of an 88-year-old female patient, who presented with intense pain following surgery for intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, is reported. Radiography revealed intertrochanteric fracture of the left femur fixed by proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA). The PFNA was found to have disassembled, and the screw had penetrated through the acetabulum. As computed tomography (CT) revealed a haematoma behind the acetabulum, CT angiography was immediately performed. A pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery caused by PFNA was revealed. Percutaneous endovascular treatment of the pseudoaneurysm was undertaken on an urgent basis. Three days later, the PFNA was removed, and the fracture was reduced and fixed with locking proximal femoral plate. The patient's pain was significantly reduced following this corrective surgery. This case illustrates that substandard PFNA surgery for intertrochanteric fracture may result in pseudoaneurysm of the internal iliac artery.

Abstract
Objective To analyze the failure factors of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. Methods The clinical data of 136 cases of intertrochanteric fracture treated with PFNA internal fixation between May 2015 and June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 106 males and 30 females, aged from 60 to 80 years, with an average age of 75.5 years. According to Evans-Jensen classification, there were 45 cases of type Ⅰ, 50 cases of type Ⅱ, 23 cases of type Ⅲ, 13 cases of type Ⅳ, and 5 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to operation was 2-4 days, with an average of 3 days. According to the X-ray films before and after operation, the fracture types (stable and unstable), reduction quality (according to Baumgaertner's criteria), integrity of lateral wall and posteromedial cortex of the patients with failure of PFNA internal fixation were summarized, and the causes of failure were analyzed. Results All the 136 patients were followed up 7-18 months (mean, 13.6 months). There were 17 cases (12.5%) of PFNA internal fixation failure after operation, including 3 cases of stable fracture and 14 cases of unstable fracture; the quality of fracture reduction was excellent in 2 cases, good in 5 cases, and poor in 10 cases; 10 cases with complete lateral wall and 7 cases with defect; 9 cases with complete posteromedial cortex and 8 cases with defect. Reasons for failure of internal fixation: ① There were 8 cases of coxa varus at 12 weeks after operation due to the loss of posteromedial cortex of femoral intertrochanteric, 7 of them continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation; 1 case underwent total hip arthroplasty with spiral blade excision after operation. ② There were 7 cases of internal fixation failure caused by lateral wall defect, including 2 cases of screw blade retraction, continued non-weight-bearing observation, and removed the internal fixator after fracture healing; 2 cases of malunion of rotation with the rotation of no more than 15°, fracture healed at 6 months after operation without special treatment; and 3 cases of rupture of lateral intertrochanteric wall during operation, continued non-weight-bearing observation and fracture healed at 6 months after operation. ③ The distal locking of the main screw was deviated in 2 cases during operation. One of them was found and replanted in time during operation, and 1 case was found with fracture of femoral shaft on 3 days after operation, following 1 year of non-weight-bearing observation and fracture ending healing. Conclusion The types of intertrochanteric fractures (especially unstable fractures), the integrity of the proximal lateral wall of femur, and the defect of the posteromedial cortex are the internal risk factors for the success or failure of PFNA in the treatment of geriatric intertrochanteric fractures. The effective protection of the lateral wall during operation and the good quality of fracture reduction are the external factors that must be paid attention to.

Abstract
Objective To explore the effectiveness of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) combined with mini plate for reconstruction of lateral femoral wall in the treatment of type AO/Orthopaedic Trauma Association (AO/OTA) type 31-A3 intertrochanteric fracture. Methods The clinical data of 70 elderly patients with AO/OTA type 31-A3 intertrochanteric fracture treated between January 2013 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into group A (PFNA alone, 35 cases) and group B (PFNA combined with mini plate reconstruction of lateral femoral wall, 35 cases). There was no significant difference in the general data of gender, age, side, cause of injury, time from injury to operation between the two groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, postoperative complications, and the tip apex distance (TAD) at 2 months after operation were recorded and compared between the two groups. Harris hip score was used to evaluate the function at 12 months after operation. Results Both groups were followed up 9-21 months, with an average of 16.6 months. The operation time and intraoperative blood loss in group A were significantly less than those in group B ( P<0.05); there was no significant difference in TAD between the two groups at 2 months after operation ( t=0.096, P=0.462). There were 5 complications (14.3%) occurred in group A, including 2 cases of blade perforating from the hip joint, 2 cases of screw back out, and 1 case of bone nonunion; only 1 case (2.9%) in group B had screw back out after operation; there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups ( χ 2=2.917, P=0.088). All the fracture healed in group B, and 1 patient in group A suffered bone nonunion and eventually main nail fracture. The healing time of fracture in group A [(15.6±2.7) weeks] was significantly longer than that in group B [(12.5±2.5) weeks], showing significant difference ( t=2.064, P=0.023). At 12 months after operation, according to Harris score, the results were excellent in 5 cases, good in 9 cases, fair in 13 cases, and poor in 8 cases in group A, the qualified rate (Harris score>70) was 77.14%; and the results were excellent in 7 cases, good in 11 cases, fair in 16 cases, and poor in 1 case in group B, the qualified rate was 97.14%; there was significant difference in the qualified rate between the two groups ( χ 2=6.248, P=0.012). Conclusion Compared with PFNA alone, the treatment of AO/OTA type 31-A3 intertrochanteric fracture with PFNA combined with mini plate reconstruction of lateral femoral wall can significantly reduce postoperative complications, promote fracture healing, and improve functional recovery of patients after operation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of the leverage reduction with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) ball head screw driver for difficult-reducing intertrochanteric fracture. METHODS The clinical data of 8 patients with difficult-reducing intertrochanteric fractures between July 2015 and February 2018 were retrospectively analysed. There were 3 males and 5 females, aged 66-89 years, with an average age of 76.3 years. According to Evans classification, there were 3 cases of type Ⅲ and 5 cases of type Ⅳ. The time from injury to operation was 2-8 days (mean, 3.9 days). All patients were reducted with ball head screw driver leverage through PFNA proximal incision during operation. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, reduction time, and fluoroscopy times were recorded. Harris hip function score was used to evaluate the effectiveness at last follow-up. RESULTS The operation time was 52.5-83.7 minutes (mean, 68.1 minutes), the intraoperative blood loss was 49.8-96.4 mL (mean, 73.1 mL), the reduction time was 3.7-9.1 minutes (mean, 6.4 minutes), and the fluoroscopy times were 18.4-27.4 times (mean, 22.9 times). Patients were followed up 6-18 months (mean, 9.6 months). Postoperative X-ray films showed that the fracture obtained good reduction. No fracture displacement, fixation failure, and coxa vara occurred after operation. Fracture healing time was 3-6 months (mean, 4.6 months). At last follow-up, the Harris hip function score was 85-96 (mean, 91.6), with a result of excellent in 6 cases and good in 2 cases. CONCLUSION The reduction of difficult-reducing intertrochanteric fracture by using ball head screw driver can obtain good reduction and reliable fixation. The method has such advantages as no more incision, and less blood loss and soft tissue injury.

Abstract
ObjectiveA basicervical femoral neck fracture, which is located at the junction between the femoral neck and intertrochanteric region, is a rare type of fracture. The treatment effects for this type of fracture vary. The present retrospective study was performed to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcomes of proximal femoral nail antirotation and illustrate its effect on improving the clinical prognosis of basicervical femoral neck fractures.MethodsFourteen patients with two-part basicervical fractures underwent treatment with proximal femoral nail antirotation.ResultsThe treatment exhibited a good effect on decreasing complications such as femoral neck shortening and screw protrusion. Improvements were also noted in the Harris hip score and other clinical prognostic factors. The patients were satisfied with the prognosis, although not all of them returned to their preinjury level of occupation or daily activities.ConclusionThis research provides clinical data to support the treatment of basicervical femoral neck fractures with proximal femoral nail antirotation and contributes to our understanding of treatment selection in the clinical setting. Selection of the optimal fixation method and subsequent conservative rehabilitation plan will benefit patients with basicervical femoral neck fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effectiveness of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) assisted by mesh locator in treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. METHODS Ninety-four elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures admitted between August 2014 and July 2017 were selected as the study subjects. They were randomly divided into trial group (48 cases) and control group (46 cases). In trial group, PFNA was implanted assisted by mesh locator after closed reduction; while in control group, PFNA was implanted by conventional method. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, cause of injury, time from injury to admission, fracture side and classification, and medical complications ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy times, hospital stay, incision length, and complications were recorded. Visual analogue scale (VAS) was used to evaluate the degree of pain at 3 days after operation, and Harris score was used to evaluate hip function before operation and at 3, 6, and 9 months after operation. RESULTS Compared with control group, the operation time and incision length of trial group shortened, the blood loss and fluoroscopy times reduced, the pain after operation alleviated obviously; the differences between the two groups were significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in hospital stay between the two groups ( P>0.05). The patients in both groups were followed up 9-12 months, with an average of 10.6 months. X-ray films showed that the fractures healed in both groups, and the healing time in control group was (11.2±3.2) weeks, while that in trial group was (11.6±2.9) weeks, showing no significant difference between the two groups ( t=1.262, P=0.120). There was no significant difference in Harris score between the two groups before operation and at 3, 6, and 9 months after operation ( P>0.05). There was 1 case of incision infection, 2 cases of coxa vara, and 1 case of pressure ulcer in trial group, and the incidence of complications was 8.3%. There was 1 case of coxa vara, 2 cases of pressure ulcer, and 1 case of internal fixation loss in control group, and the incidence of complications was 8.7%. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (χ 2=0.783, P=0.112). CONCLUSION It is feasible to implant PFNA assisted by mesh locator in treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. Compared with the traditional operation, it can shorten the operation time, shorten the incision, and relieve the pain after operation.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the outcomes of the surgical fixation of atypical femoral fractures in bisphosphonate-treated patients with an intramedullary device. Materials and methods This multicentric study was carried out at the department of orthopedics, Dr. Ruth Phau Civil Hospital and Medicare Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, between 2013 and 2018. In this retrospective observational study, we reviewed 10 bisphosphonate-treated patients, fixed surgically with an intramedullary nail after presenting with radiologically characteristic atypical femur fractures identified according to the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research criteria. We excluded patients with fractures sustained by high-energy trauma, road traffic accidents, fall from a height, and those associated with underlying malignancy. Results A total of 11 atypical femoral fractures in 10 patients were included, all of whom were females with a mean age of 68.6 (range 57-82) years. Out of 11 fractures, 81.8% (n=9) were located in the subtrochanteric region and two were located in the femoral shaft. The mean bisphosphonate use was 58.3 months. All patients were treated with intramedullary devices; an intramedullary interlocking nail in two cases and proximal femoral nail antirotation in nine cases. The mean follow-up duration was 12 months. All fractures were united in an average time of 9.9 months (range 6 - 16 months). Implant failure and/or nonunion were not observed, whereas delayed union was noted in five patients. Conclusion Intramedullary fixation is a reliable method for the treatment of atypical femur fractures in bisphosphonate-treated patients owing to its intramedullary placement. These devices act as an internal splint and can provide much more axial stability, reducing the risk of implant fatigue failure due to a delay in fracture healing from prolonged bisphosphonate use.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to compare the efficacy and complications of two fixation techniques, namely dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), in the treatment of osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients, and to detect changes in transforming growth factor β2 (TGF-β2) expression in the two groups. A total of 100 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were randomly divided into two groups that were treated with either DHS or PFNA. Peri-operative complications were observed in the patients and ELISA was used to detect TGF-β2 expression levels at 1, 7, 15 and 30 days after surgical treatment. The clinical efficacy and the incidence rate of complications at 3 months after the operation were compared. In comparison with the DHS group, the PFNA group had a shorter operation time, a lower bleeding volume and a shorter post-operative weight-bearing time. The contents of TGF-β2 in the two groups at 7 days after the operation were higher than those at 1 day, reached a peak at 15 days and had gradually decreased again at 30 days after the operation. The contents of TGF-β2 at 1, 7 and 15 days in the PFNA group were higher than those at the identical time-points in the DHS group (P<0.01). Regarding the clinical efficacy in the two groups at 3 months of post-surgery, the rate of excellent/good efficacy in the PFNA fixation group (90.0%) was higher than that in the DHS fixation group (74.0%). Of note, PFNA fixation had a higher clinical efficacy, a shorter operation time, less intra-operative trauma, a relatively faster fracture healing process and fewer complications in comparison with DHS fixation, and is therefore more suitable for treating osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly. PFNA fixation is superior to DHS fixation, which may be associated with the higher level of TGF-β2 expression in comparison with that in the DHS group.

Abstract
In this network meta-analysis, we determined the optimal surgical method for treating unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures. We searched the EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Medline databases for studies evaluating sliding hip screws (SHS), gamma nail (GN) or proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) methods, and included nine randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria. Our analysis showed no differences in the rates of complications between SHS and PFNA relative to GN (p > 0.05). However, the surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) score for PFNA (77.6%) was higher than the SUCRA scores for GN (65%) and SHS (7.5%). This suggests PFNA is the better surgical method than GN or SHS for unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to compare the biomechanical stability of the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) (with 200 mm, 240 mm and 280 mm-long main nails) for the management of unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures. METHODS Tronzo-Evans Type IV and V fractures were built by applying a three-dimensional finite element model. Further, PFNA-II with 200 mm, 240 mm and 280 mm-long main nails were applied for fixation. The above model is the creation of 3 researchers designed in order to obtain average values of numerical stress. Von Mises stress distribution and medial and lateral stress peak of the femur and PFNA were compared. RESULTS 240 mm and 280 mm PFNA medial stress peak was reduced significantly in comparison to 200 mm PFNA (p⟨0.05). However, there was no difference between 240 mm and 280 mm PFN. Also, no statistical difference was observed with any of 3 lengths in both medial and lateral stress peak for Evans Type IV and V PFNA. CONCLUSION 240 mm and 280 mm PFNA could reduce femur fixation medial stress peak. Further, they were more efficient in comparison to the 200 mm PFNA, and their biomechanical stability was similar to that of the 280 mm nail.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate long-term radiographic and functional outcomes between dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) fixation for treatment of osteoporotic type 31-A1 intertrochanteric femoral fractures (IFFs) among elderly patients Methods A retrospective comparative study was carried out. Follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively and yearly thereafter. The primary outcome was the radiographic outcome, and the secondary outcome was the functional outcome. Results A significant difference in radiographic complications was observed between the DHS group (n = 45, 40.2%) and PFNA group (n = 15, 13.6%). The risk of femoral shaft fracture after implant removal at the 1-year follow-up was increased by 0.9% (n = 1) and 6.3% (n = 7) in the PFNA and DHS groups, respectively. This difference persisted with rates of 3.6% (n = 4) and 12.5% (n = 14) at the final follow-up. Additionally, significant differences were present in the Harris hip score at each visit. Conclusion Our results indicate that PFNA yields better outcomes than DHS fixation among elderly patients with osteoporotic type 31-A1 IFFs.
