Clinical Insights into PFNA & PFNA2: A Guide to Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation

 

Hip fractures, especially in the elderly, can be life-changing, making stable fixation crucial for recovery. The Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) revolutionized treatment by replacing screws with a helical blade, offering better purchase in osteoporotic bone and reducing complications like screw cut-out. Its successor, PFNA2, refined the design with a smaller distal diameter, improved angles, and broader size options to suit diverse anatomies, especially in Asian populations. Together, PFNA and PFNA2 allow earlier mobilization, lower surgical risks, and faster recovery. Siora Surgicals Pvt. Ltd. manufactures high-quality PFNA2 implants and seeks distributors in Lebanon to expand its global presence.
