Tfn??

Hi Ortho Nurses--Here's hoping you can help me figure this one out.

I work in sub-acute/rehab within a SNF, and I admitted a pt on Friday who was s/p a L hip fracture, for which she had a TFN done...my co-workers & I couldn't figure out what this stood for--didn't see it spelled out in any of the documentation sent over from the hospital. I was hoping one of you may know---she does have two small incisions with staples to her hip. Is this similar to an ORIF? I'd appreciate any help you can offer.
