  Author(s): Filip Mazurczak*, Ignacy Eukasiewicz and Tomasz Pardała
  
  Aim: The purpose of this analysis was to compare simple Pertrochanteric Fractures (PTFs) AO31-A1.2 and PTFs with the detachment of lesser trochanter AO31-A1.3 along with the risk factors of perioperative blood loss in terms of their impact on postoperative level of hemoglobin. Methods: This study analysed the clinical data of 334 unilateral, stable PTFs classified as AO31-A1.2 (205 cases) and AO31-A1.3 (129 cases) treated with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA). First postoperative level of hemoglobin and hemoglobin drop (difference between first on admission to hospital and first postoperative hemoglobin levels) were chosen as the principal outcome. Analyzed patients were not transfused between hemoglobin measurements. Multivariate linear regression analysis was performed to study perioperative blood loss risk factors in patients und..
