THE ADVANTAGES OF USING PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTI-ROTATION (PFNA) WITH THE AUGMENTATION IN THE OSTEOSYNTHESIS OF HIP FRACTURES ON BACKGROUND OF OSTEOPOROSIS

Abstract

This article provides an analysis of the literature data devoted to research on the use of the proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) with and without augmentation in patients in fractures of the osteoporotic femur. The authors used the descriptive and analytical methods. The search for relevant publications carried out in the databases: Google Scholar, e-Library Medline, and the Cochrane Consort library. To date, the evidence base for the benefits of using PFNA with augmentation in osteosynthesis of hip fractures accompanied by osteoporosis need to provide the randomized controlled trials, despite the obvious theoretical and experimental advantages of the method.
