PFNA vs. DHS helical blade for elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

CONCLUSIONS: PFNA is characterized by minimal invasiveness, shorter time of operation, and accelerated post-operative recovery during the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures, and effectively improved patient bone density post-operatively, thus further promoting joint function recovery and reducing complication incidence.
