Abstract
Background and Objective: Proximal femoral fractures are a very common issue to orthopedic
surgeons and reflect a very hot place in every orthopedic debate. They are operated by open or closed
approach and both methods have pros and cons. In this article we will discuss a case with a miraculous result
for closed PFN.
Case Report: In this essay we report a 59 year old male with suboptimal postoperative reduction
radiographically which ends in a very good clinical result.
Discussion: Closed reduction and Internal Fixation surgery in proximal femoral fractures have a very
good result because of the fracture site hematoma which is retained.
Conclusion: CRIF surgery is better than ORIF in proximal femoral fractures even if the reduction is
suboptimal.
