Zimmer Natural Nail and ELOS nails in pertrochanteric fractures

Abstract: Background Pertrochanteric fractures of the femur in the elderly are very common. As the average age of the population increases, the incidence of such fractures also raises, resulting in high healthcare costs. The type of surgical devices employed for their surgical management influences these costs. Methods A comparative clinical study was conducted on patients operated by one single surgeon between December 2018 and November 2020 in a high-volum… Show more

“…Previous studies have shown that PFN(A) device, irrespective of the brand, had similar incidence in terms of post-operative complications [ 13 , 39 ]. Furthermore, it was also found that the more expensive device is not positive related to the better short-term outcomes [ 40 ]. This indeed demands the development of new technologies with further exploration, and we believe clues from the pre-clinical research with high translational potential may help decrease these risks.…”

“…The incidence of hip fractures also increases with age. For elderly patients with hip fractures, surgery is the preferred treatment option, and the choice of an intramedullary nail or hip replacement depends on the type of fracture [3][4][5]. The mortality rate for patients with hip fractures remains as high as 17-27% within 1 year after surgery and more than 40% at 5 years postoperatively, despite ongoing advancements in medical care [6].…”
