PFNA (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation) is a surgical Intramedullary Nail used for the treatment of femoral trochanteric fractures.
It is a orthopedic implant inserted into the femur during surgery, which can provide additional support and stability to aid in fracture healing. PFNA interlocking nail is usually inserted into the femur by doctors during surgery and then fixed in the appropriate position to assist in fracture healing. This type of surgery is commonly used to treat severe femoral trochanter fractures and can help patients recover from walking and daily activities.
advantage
1. PFNA femoral nail has minimal surgical trauma and reduce the occurrence of surgical complications.
2. Through internal fixation devices, stable fracture fixation can be provided, which helps with fracture healing.
3. PFNA intramedullary nails can reduce postoperative pain and recovery time for patients, helping to recover as soon as possible.
4. The internal fixation orthopeadic implant can be used to reduce the risk of displacement and re fracture during the fracture healing process.
Indications
1. Intertrochanteric fracture of the femur.
2. Osteoporosis fractures in the elderly.
3. Ischemic necrosis of the femoral head caused by fractures.
4. Other femoral fractures that require internal fixation treatment.
It should be noted that PFNA intramedullary nails are not suitable for all types of femoral fractures, and the specific surgical treatment plan should be selected based on the patient's specific situation and the doctor's advice.
