A total of 165 patients were treated for peri-trochanteric fracture with intramedullary nailing during the study period in the same hospital. Of these patients, 47 were excluded from the study (31 died before the 3-months follow-up, 11 were lost to the follow-up and 5 for other reasons such as pathological fracture etc.). Figure Flow chart diagram for the study’s cohortAll patients were treated with a short proximal femoral intramedullary nail and randomly divided into two groups. In the group A, 54 patients were operated using the standard lag screw into the femoral head and in the group, 64 patient were operated using an additional anti-rotational lag screw. The two formed groups were comparable in terms of their age (mean age 82.3 for group A and 83.1 for group B, There were no statistically significant differences pre-operatively between the two groups regarding the ASA grade and the mental score (ASA grade 2.4 and 2.5 respectively and mental score 7.8 and 6.8 respectively with Operative and follow-up data of the two study groups0,4 min3,2mAs0,3 min3mAsComplications observed in the two groupsRadiographic measurements in the two groupsThe CART analysis resulted in a tree with nine nodes four of which were terminal nodes (Fig. Classification Tree resultsThe Chi-square analysis performed for the 44 cases with Jensen score exceeding the value of four (Table Chi-square results for the 44 cases with Jensen score above 4.
