Abstract

Aim: Proximal femoral nails are widely used in the treatment of pertrochanteric fractures, as they can be applied in a shorter time and with less bleeding, with their more stable biomechanical properties during axial loading. In this retrospective study, conducted in our institution, we aimed to determine the effective- ness of PFN, especially in various osteoporotic conditions, mental health conditions, anesthesia risk, functional outcomes and mortality
