This study aims to evaluate the functional and radiological outcomes of PFNA-2 in the management of intertrochanteric fractures.</p><p><strong>Materials and methods: </strong>This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Orthopaedics, Chettinad Health Institute, Tamil Nadu, involving 50 patients with Boyd and Griffin Type 1-4 intertrochanteric fractures.
