Helical Blade versus Lag Screw for Treatment of Intertrochanteric Fracture: Kwang Jun Oh, Sung Tae Lee, Suk Ha Lee, Jin Ho Hwang, Min Suk Kang; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(1):6-12. Published online January 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.1.6

PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiographic and functional outcomes between who had unstable intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST (lag screw design) and the PFNA (helical blade design).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected each 17 and 13 patients of unstable intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFNA from April 2005 to December 2008. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical outcomes with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function scoring system.
RESULTS
The mean sliding distance of cervical screw with ITST nails was not shown significant differences than with using PFNA nails. The other factors were not statistically different. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function score were similar. 2 cases of cutting out was noted with ITST nails and 1 case of cutting out was noted with PFNA nails.
CONCLUSION
Unlike the existed biomechanical reposts, there are no differences that are clinical and radiological results in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture using the ITST nails and PFNA nails.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of treatment of trochanteric fracture with ITST (Intertrochanteric/ Subtrochanteric) nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed the results of 40 cases of trochanteric fracture treated with ITST from January 2006 to May 2007, which could be followed up for more than 12 months. The cases include 13 males and 27 females, and the mean age is 75.6 years old. The clinical results were evaluated by Ceder mobility assessment, and the radiographic results were evaluated by the change of femoral neck-shaft angle and sliding of lag screw.
RESULTS
The mean bone union time is 13.5 weeks. Thirty four cases (85%) were recovered to pre-injury state of walking ability. The change of neck-shaft angle was an average of 5.21degrees and the sliding distance of lag screw was an average of 5.78 mm. Complications were occurred in 4 patients (10%).
CONCLUSION
The ITST nail were seen good results in treatment of trochanteric fracture and has relatively less complications than other internal fixator.

Comparison Study of Intertrochanteric Fractures Treated with Intertrochanteric/subtrochanteric Fixation with a Standard vs a Mini-incision: Se Dong Kim, Oog Jin Sohn, Jae Ho Cho; J Korean Fract Soc 2008;21(1):1-7. Published online January 31, 2008; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2008.21.1.1

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiographic, clinical results between who had intertrochnateric fracture, treated with ITST with a standard or a mini-incision.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected each 20 patients of intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST with a standard incision or a mini-incision from June 2004 to July 2006. We compared of mean operative time, transfusion doses and postoperative VAS score between two groups. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical results with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer and Salvati and Wilson hip function scoring system.
RESULTS
Mean operative time, transfusion doses and postoperative VAS score were significantly less in the mini-incision there were 87.8 min., 2.0 pints and 4.2 for the standard group versus 40.3 min., 1.1 pints and 3.3 for the mini group. The radiographic results were not significantly different. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer and Salvati and Wilson hip function scoring system were similar.
CONCLUSION
Mini-incision significantly reduces operative time, transfusion doses and postoperative pain for fixation intertrochanteric fracture treated with ITST.

Abstract

PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiographic, clinical results and the complications between who had intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST or the PFN.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We selected each 30 patients of intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFN from July 2002 to November 2005. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical results with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function scoring system and Jensen index.
RESULTS
The mean distance of lag screw sliding was 4.1 mm at the ITST group and 6.6 mm at the PFN group. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function score were similar. Patients complaint pain over lateral thigh area in 5 cases (ITST group) and 8 cases (PFN group).
CONCLUSION
The ITST nail and PFN were seen good results in treatment of stable and unstable intertrochanteric fracture.
