“Operative outcome of Trochanteric femoral nailing for intertrochanteric fractures of femur in adults”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 11
Abstract
Context: Intertrochanteric fractures account for half of proximal femur fractures.This extra capsular fracture occurs in cancellous bone with abundant blood supply. As a result non union and osteonecrosis are not a major problem but deforming muscle forces will produce shortening, external rotation and varus malposition. Aims: To study the clinical, radiological and functional outcomes, and complications associated with the trochanteric femoral nailing in intertrochanteric fractures of femur. Materials and methods:Trochanteric Femoral Nailing of 20 cases of Intertrochanteric fractures and evaluation of the results. Statistical Analysis Used:Patients evaluated clinically and radiologically, at regular intervals. Results: Out of 20 patients, according to the Modified Harris Hip Scoring system, 13 patient had excellent results, 6 patients had good result, 1 patient had fair result. Radiological union was achieved in 8-12 weeks. Complication rate was 20%. Conclusions:Intramedullary devices like trochanteric femoral nail is a good option for both stable and unstable intertrochanteric fractures
