ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To evaluate the radiographic and functional outcomes between who had unstable intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST (lag screw design) and the PFNA (helical blade design). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
We selected each 17 and 13 patients of unstable intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFNA from April 2005 to December 2008. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical outcomes with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function scoring system.RESULTS:
The mean sliding distance of cervical screw with ITST nails was not shown significant differences than with using PFNA nails. The other factors were not statistically different. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Social function score were similar. 2 cases of cutting out was noted with ITST nails and 1 case of cutting out was noted with PFNA nails.CONCLUSION:
Unlike the existed biomechanical reposts, there are no differences that are clinical and radiological results in treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture using the ITST nails and PFNA nails.
