Abstract Objective: To discuss the surgical technique and efficacy of the application of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation( PFNA) in the treatment of peritrochanteric femoral fracture. Method: Sixty-eight patients with peritrochanteric femoral fractures treated with PFNA were reviewed. Result: The follow-up time was 12 to 37 months,average was( 18.22±7.49) months. Varus of hip joint occurred in one case and osteonecrosis of the femoral head in one case, however, no other complications such as femoral shaft fracture and anti-rotation screw cut through the femoral head. According to Sanders post trauma hip function score standard, the result was excellent in 37 cases, fair in 25 cases, bad in 6 cases, and the excellent and the good rate was 91.18%. Conclusion: PFNA can be recommended to the treatment of peritrochanteric femoral fracture as the first choice for its advantages of minimally invasive, reliable fixation, simple operation, and rapid rehabilitation.
