Partial Weight Bearing Proximal Femoral Nail Due to Intertrochanteric Fracture.

Femur intertrochanteric fractures (FITC) are one of the most common fractures of the lower extremity, caused by osteoporosis, caused by minor trauma in elderly patients. Today, it is successfully treated with proximal femoral nails (PFN) designed in different ways. After surgical fixation with PFN, patients are mobilized by placing full weight, but some complications can be seen due to the patients being osteoporotic. In this study, the investigators planned to investigate the effect of full weight bearing and partial weight bearing on complications, which were not previously described in the literature.
