ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture in osteoporotic elderly patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 112 patients using interan nail (IN) or trochanteric antegrade nail (TAN) for the management of intertrochanteric femoral fracture from January 2009 to September 2015 in our hospital. According to AO classification, there were 34 cases of type 31-A.1, and 61 cases of type 31-A.2, 17 cases of type 31-A.3. Clinical and radiological follow-up were available. Surgical and fluoroscopic time, length of hospital stay, blood loss, complications and hip functions were compared between two groups. Results A total of 78 patients meeting the criteria were evaluated at a mean follow-up of 15 months (range, 3-27 months). The IN was used in 41 patients and the TAN in 37 patients. Operative time, fluoroscopy time and blood loss showed significant difference between the IN group and TAN group (respectively, 58.9±6.9 vs. 75.6±5.9min; 2.70±0.47 vs. 4.40±0.47min; 107.6±6.7 vs. 127.8±6.8ml, P0.05). Conclusions For minimally invasive treatment of unstable femoral intertrochanteric fractures, use of either the IN or TAN is clinically effective. However, IN presents more advantages (e.g., easy operation, reliable fixation, less bleeding, better clinical outcomes, and less complications). The use of IN is a suitable option for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in osteoporotic elderly patients.
