Clinical outcomes between long and short proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA-II) devices in the management of extracapsular hip fractures: a retrospective cohort study

Conclusions: The purported extra stability of the unlocked, long PFNA-II device in extracapsular hip fractures has not been demonstrated in this study. Hence, we recommend the short PFNA-II device in extracapsular hip fractures due to its superior cost-benefit advantage. Level of Evidence: Level IV.
