Abstract

Introduction: Hip fractures always cause short-term pain, disability and a longer-term pain, disability or Deformity. Only a small number of reports on the incidence of hip fractures in the Asian population exist. Intertrochanteric fractures in osteoporotic bones with gross comminution are highly unstable and are associated with a high risk of morbidity and mortality. Material and Methods: To compare the functional and clinical outcomes of cemented bipolar arthroplasty and proximal femoral nailing in unstable intertrochanteric fractures, this multicenter prospective study was initiated from Aug#x2019;12 to Dec#x2019;14on 70 patients with unstable (Evans type III and IV) intertrochanteric fractures with minimum 2 years follow-up. Harris Hip Score was used to assess functional outcome.
