[Table/Fig-2]:
Comparison of PFN and PFNA groups in terms of quality of fixation, functional outcomes and complications.
| Parameters | PFN (23) | PFNA (25) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Percentage with tip-apex distance (TAD) ≥ 25 mm | 4 (17.4%) | 8 (32%) | 0.32 |
| Percentage with sub-optimal position (as per Cleveland index) | 4 (17.4%) | 8 (32%) | 0.32 |
| Average postoperative Harris hip score | 75.37 | 78.85 | 0.54 |
| Return to preinjury status (as per Parker Palmer mobility score) | 8 (34.7%) | 8 (32%) | 0.83 |
| Complications (overall) | 8 (34.7%) | 3 (12%) | 0.08 |
| Complications (implant related) | 7 (30.4%) | 1 (4%) | 0.02 |
| Complications (in patients with Singh’s index 3 or less) | 3 (37.5%) | 0 (0%) | 0.04 |
(Quantitative variables were compared using unpaired t-test/Mann-Whitney test and qualitative variables were correlated using Chi-square test/Fisher’s-exact test)
