Because of the contradictory body of evidence related to the
potential benefits of helical blades in trochanteric fracture fixation,
we studied the effect of bone compaction resulting from the insertion
of a proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA). We developed a subject-specific computational model of a trochanteric
fracture (31-A2 in the AO classification) with lack of medial support
and varied the bone density to account for variability in bone properties
among hip fracture patients.Objectives
