Comparison of post-operative hip abductor muscle strength and functional outcome between dynamic hip screw and proximal femoral nail in intertrochanteric fracture
Abstract:Extra capsular intertrochanteric femur fractures occur between femoral neck and lesser trochanter of the femur. However, this study aims to study the influence of restoration of femoral offset in relation to the strength of the hip abductor muscle along with the functional outcomes. In patients with ≥18 years of age that were operated for Intertrochanteric fracture and referred for physiotherapy, a prospective cohort study was performed. On the principles of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prevention, strengtheni… Show more
