Abstract

Background: Understanding the influence of patient demographics and injury patterns on the choice and success of surgical interventions for stable extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.

Methods: This comparative study analyzed 50 patients undergoing CRIF with either Gamma Nail or PFN, focusing on how demographics, injury patterns, and socio-economic status impacted surgical choice and outcomes.

Results: No significant differences were observed in age and socio-economic status between the two groups. Gender distribution and the mode of injury showed slight variations but did not substantially influence the surgical choice. Both Gamma Nail and PFN were utilized across a diverse patient population, suggesting the need for individualized surgical planning.

Conclusion: The choice of surgical technique for treating stable extracapsular fractures of the proximal femur is multifaceted, influenced by a combination of technical, demographic, and injury-related factors.

Keywords: Extracapsular fractures, proximal femur, Gamma Nail, Proximal Femoral Nail, patient demographics, injury patterns.
