ABSTRACT
Objective: To summarize the application of distal fixated long stem in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture (ITF) in the sequence of proximal femoral reconstruction, fixation materials, and other details after operation, in order to improve doctor's attention to the reconstruction of the proximal femur and reduce complications. Methods: The related literature about the application of distal fixated long stem in the treatment of ITF was extensively reviewed, summarized, and analyzed. Results: The sequence of reconstruction is divided into fracture reconstruction priority and prosthesis reconstruction priority. The former is mainly to provide an anatomical reference for the placement of joint prostheses, the latter is mainly to provide support for fracture fixation. The distal fixated cement long stem and cementless long stem have their own characteristics, and materials of reconstruction are used in combination. There is no uniform standard for the sequence and materials of reconstruction. Conclusion: Although the stability of the distal fixated long stem depends on the distal femur, the accurate reconstruction of the proximal femur is still worthy of attention.
