    THIS REPORT IS BEING FILED AFTER THE SUBSEQUENT REVIEW OF THE FOLLOWING LITERATURE ARTICLE: CHO, H.M., ET AL. (2016). CLINICAL AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF TREATMENT FOR TYPE A1 INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMORAL FRACTURE IN ELDERLY PATIENTS: COMPARISON OF DYNAMIC HIP SCREW AND PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTIROTATION, HIP PELVIS 28(4): 232-242, 2016. KOREA. THE STUDY OBJECTIVE WAS TO EVALUATE AND COMPARE THE CLINICAL AND FUNCTIONAL OUTCOMES OF DYNAMIC HIP SCREW (DHS) AND PROXIMAL FEMORAL NAIL ANTIROTATION (PFNA) TREATMENT OF AO TYPE 1 INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURES IN ELDERLY PATIENTS. THE STUDY INCLUDED PATIENTS WITH INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMORAL FRACTURE BETWEEN JANUARY 2004 AND DECEMBER 2014, THOSE YOUNGER THAN 70 YEARS, WITH AO FRACTURE CLASSIFICATION OF TYPE 2 OR HIGHER 7), WITH BILATERAL FRACTURE. THE 113 CASES TREATED WITH DHS (DHS GROUP), AND 81 CASES TREATED WITH PFNA (PFNA GROUP). REGARDING THE DHS AND PFNA GROUPS, RESPECTIVELY: MEAN PATIENT AGE, 84.2 (70- 93) YEARS AND 81.0 (70-94) YEARS. DHS GROUP RECEIVED A 135 DEGREE-ANGLED PLATE AND HIP SCREWS. THE REDUCTION METHOD USED FOR THE PFNA GROUP WAS SIMILAR TO THAT USED FOR DHS GROUP. AFTER REAMING THE LATERAL CORTEX, A HELICAL BLADE WAS INSERTED, FOLLOWED BY THE INSERTION OF DISTAL LOCKING SCREWS. THE SIZE OF THE NAIL WAS DETERMINED BASED ON THE PREOPERATIVE RADIOGRAPHS, AND, FOR ALL PATIENTS, THE NECK-SHAFT ANGLE WAS 130 DEGREES, WITH A LENGTH OF 170 MM OR 200 MM. THE FOLLOWING COMPLICATIONS WERE REPORTED: IN THE PFNA GROUP, ONE PATIENT, A (B)(6) MAN WITH LEFT-SIDED TYPE A1 INTERTROCHANTERIC FRACTURE HAD CUT-THROUGH BY THE HELICAL BLADE AT FOUR MONTHS POSTOPERATIVELY. THERE WAS A REPLACEMENT OF THE HELICAL BLADE WITH AN AUTOGENOUS BONE GRAFT. THE PATIENT THEN HAD CUT-THROUGH OF HELICAL BLADE AT THREE MONTHS AFTER REOPERATION. BIPOLAR HEMIARTHROPLASTY/ARTIFICIAL HIP REPLACEMENT WAS PERFORMED. THIS IS REPORT 7 OF 8 FOR (B)(4). THIS REPORT IS FOR AN UNKNOWN QUANTITY OF PFNA HELICAL BLADE, UNKNOWN PART # / LOT #.
