Surgical Treatment of Femoral Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures in Elderly Patients: Comparative Study between Compressive Hip Screws and Additional Trochanteric Stabilizing Plates: Kap Jung Kim, Dae Suk Yang, Sang Ki Lee, Won Sik Choy, Kyoung Wan Bae; J Korean Fract Soc 2011;24(4):295-300. Published online October 31, 2011; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2011.24.4.295

PURPOSE
To evaluate the radiologic results between compressive hip screw and compressive hip screw with additional trochanteric stabilizing plate in patients with femoral unstable intertrochanteric fractures in patients with more 65 years old.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
From 2006 to May 2009, 121 cases were included. Group I (compressive hip screw only) was 54 cases and group II (compressive hip screw with trochanteric stabilizing plate) was 67 cases. We checked the lag screw sliding, lateral translation of greater trochanter, changes of neck-shaft angle and complications through periodic follow up of radiographs.
RESULTS
Mean lag screw sliding was 7.6 mm in group I and 3.9 mm in group II (p=0.001). Mean lateral translation of greater trochanter was 3.86 mm in group I and 0.59 mm in group II (p=0.01). Mean changes of neck-shaft angle was nearly the same, 3.57degrees in group I and 3.66degrees in group II. Complications were 15 cases in group I and 10 cases in group II.
CONCLUSION
Compressive hip screw with additional trochanteric stabilizing plate was effective surgical option in patients with femoral unstable intertrochanteric fractures in patients with more than 65 years old. It decreased lag screw sliding, lateral translation of greater trochanter and complication rates.

Treatment of the Unstable Intertrochanteric Fracture with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation: Comparison with Compression Hip Screw with Trochanteric Stabilizing Plate: Tae Ho Kim, Jong Oh Kim, Seung Yup Lee, Geon Ung Yun; J Korean Fract Soc 2010;23(4):353-359. Published online October 31, 2010; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2010.23.4.353

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate the effectiveness of Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation (PFNA) for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture comparing with Compression Hip Screw (CHS) with Trochanteric Stabilizing Plate (TSP).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
With clinical study, 43 patients who were treated surgically for unstable intertrochanteric fractures were retrospectively evaluated. One group was treated with CHS and TSP (Group 1, 22 cases) and the other was treated with PFNA (Group 2, 21 cases). By postoperative radiograph and last follow up radiograph we measured Tip-apex distance, Cleveland index, Lag screw slippage, Neck-shaft angle change and Union time. And By retrospective medical record review, the clinical results were evaluated with the operation time, intraoperative estimated blood loss, amount of drainage, amount of transfusion, walking ability change and complication.
RESULTS
There was a lower operation time, intraoperative estimated blood loss, amount of drainage, amount of transfusion, lag screw slippage and neck shaft angle change in the Group 2 than in the Group 1 (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION
PFNA showed better results than CHS with TSP in operation time, estimated blood loss, amount of drainage and transfusion, lag screw slippage and neck-shaft angle change.

Treatment of Comminuted Trochanteric Fracture with Dynamic Hip Screw and Trochanteric Stabilizing Plate: Seungki Baek, Youngjoon Choi, Chunghwan Kim, Yoojin Kim, Jaekwang Hwang, Hyungsun Ahn, Hyuntae Ahn, Kyungjun Park, Jaiwoo Cho; J Korean Soc Fract 2002;15(2):278-285. Published online April 30, 2002; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jksf.2002.15.2.278

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the results of treatment of comminuted femoral trochanteric fracture using dynamic hip screw(DHS) with trochanteric stabilizing plate(TSP) and DHS only.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
we analysed retrospectively 32 cases that has fracture extends over two or more levels of medial cortex(A2 of AO classification) and fracture extends through lateral cortex of femur(A3 of AO classicification) of femoral trochanteric fractures between 1997 and 2000. On simple AP radiograph of the DHS with TSP(n=16) and DHS only group(n=16), we reviewed bony union, slippage of lag screw, lateral displacement of greater trochanter.
RESULT
Bony union was observed in all cases. When bony union is done in follow up radiograph, Mean slippage of lag screw is 14.5mm in DHS only group, 12.6mm in DHS with TSP group and mean lateral displacement of greater trochanter is 9.8mm in DHS only group, 1.2mm in DHS with TSP group.
CONCLUSION
Use of DHS with TSP in comminuted femoral trochanteric fracture is lesser slippage of lag screw and lateral displacement of greater trochanter than DHS only used, and that is better method to maintain fracture reduction and internal fixation in treatment of comminuted femoral trochanteric fractures than DHS only.
