Abstract: Objective Cephalomedullary nails are becoming more and more popular in the treatment of per/inter-trochanteric fractures.However,difficulties in nailing process and unsatisfied fixation are not so rare in clinic.Our purpose is to investigate the technical tips and skills with proximal femoral nail antirotation Asian version (PFNA-II).Methods Through summary of our experiences and lessons,with review of related literatures,we gather ten tips regarding successful nail insertion and stable fixation.Result These include patient position in fracture table,medial shift of entry point from the exact trochanteric tip,use of laterally curved guide wire,hand press over lateral wall to avoid wedge opening effect,hand insertion of nail without hammer blow,use TAD to control the position of helical blade in femoral head,awareness of the impingement between femoral anterior cortex and nail tip,awareness of the prominence of proximal nail end,and last,prepare side-plate instrument for obese female with short stature.Conclusion Paying attention to the structure chaeacteristic of cephalomedullary nail and technical skill can improve the nailing success rate and fication quality.
