Abstract

BACKGROUND: Stable fracture fixation is important in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur (ITF) fractures in the elderlypopulation to prevent the loss of reduction, achieve early mobility, and restore independence. The aim of this study was to present theresults of surgical treatment of stable and unstable ITF fractures using a trochanteric antegrade intramedullary nail with two cephalocervicalscrews in an integrated mechanism (Intertan®; Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN) and evaluate the relationship between the lossof reduction and screw position in the femoral neck in two planes.METHODS: The authors investigated all varus misalignments and losses of reduction in 57 patients (22 males, 35 females) treatedfor ITF fractures with the Intertan® between 2010 and 2011. Two indices (screw alignment index in the frontal projection [SAIcoronal]and screw alignment index in the lateral projection [SAIsagittal]) were defined to evaluate the loss of reduction. Patients were alsoevaluated according to the Harris hip score and Barthel independence index.RESULTS: The mean patient age was 77.1 years. The mean follow-up period was 21.7 months. All patients achieved complete union.We did not detect any varus collapse or loss of reduction. At the end of the follow-up period, the mean Barthel independence indexwas 90.7, and the mean Harris hip score was 83.7.CONCLUSION: The use of a trochanteric antegrade intramedullary nail with two cephalocervical screws allows for linear intraoperativecompression and rotational stability of the head/neck fragment, prevents reduction loss, and has a wide application area in thefemoral head. Its inherent continuous stability permits early weight-bearing and mobilization. It is a safe and an efficient option for thetreatment of ITF fractures.

Özet

AMAÇ: Yaşlı popülasyondaki intertrokanterik femur (İTF) kırıklarının tedavisinde, redüksiyon kaybını önlemek, erken mobilite sağlamak ve bağımsız yaşamın restorasyonu için stabil kırık fiksasyonu çok önemlidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, entegre iki sefaloservikal vida mekanizması içeren trokanterik antegrad intramedüller çivi (Intertan®; Smith & Nephew, Memphis, TN) kullanılarak cerrahi tedavi edilen stabil ve instabil İTF kırıklarının sonuçlarını ortaya koymak ve redüksiyon kaybı ile femur boynuna giden iki vidanın pozisyonu arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmada 2010 ve 2011 yılları arasında İTF kırığı olan ve Intertan® ile cerrahi tedavi edilen 57 hasta (22 erkek, 35 kadın) tüm plan deformiteleri ve redüksiyon kaybı açısından incelendi. Redüksiyon kaybını tarif etmek amacıyla iki indeks (frontal planda vida hiza indeksi [VHİkoronal] ve lateral planda vida hiza indeksi [VHİlateral]) belirlendi. Hastalar ayrıca Harris kalça skoru ve Barthel indeksine göre de değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: Ortalama hasta yaşı 77.1, ortalama takip süresi 21.7 aydı. Tüm hastalarda tam kaynama elde edildi. Hiçbir hastada varus kollapsı ya da redüksiyon kaybı gözlenmedi. Takip süresi sonunda, ortalama Barthel indeksi 90.7 olarak bulunurken, ortalama Harris kalça skoru 83.7 olarak belirlendi. TARTIŞMA: Femur baş/boyun fragmanının rotasyonel stabilitesini sağlamaya ve lineer intraoperatif kompresyona olanak tanıyan, entegre iki sefaloservikal vida mekanizması içeren trokanterik antegrad intramedüller çivi, redüksiyon kaybını önler ve femur başında geniş uygulama sahası mevcuttur. Mekanizmanın doğası, stabilitenin devamlılığını sağlayarak erken yük verdirilmesine ve erken mobilizasyona olanak tanır. İntertrokanterik femur kırıklarının tedavisinde güvenli ve etkili bir tedavi seçeneğidir
