Different implant fixation repairs femoral neck combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures：comparisons of biomechanical properties / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:Choosing internal fixator implants with good strength and stiffness is the key to repair femoral neck combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures. OBJECTIVE:To compare the biomechanical properties of different implant fixation for femoral neck combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures. METHODS:Totaly 24 adult antiseptic cadaver specimens were used to produce fracture models with femoral neck fracture combined with 5 cm of ipsilateral subtrochanteri medical cortical defect, and were divided into femoral proximal locking plate group, lengthening proximal femur anti-rotation intramedulary nail group and lengthening proximal femoral nail group according to the random number table method. The results of axial compression test, torsion test and axial compression failure rest in three groups were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The axial compressive stiffness and failure load in lengthening proximal femur anti-rotation intramedulary nail group were significantly greater than those in femoral proximal locking plate group and lengthening proximal femoral nail group, and those in lengthening proximal femoral nail group were significantly greater than those in femoral proximal locking plate group (P 0.05). These results demonstrate that to a certain extent, compared with the femoral proximal locking plate and lengthening lengthening proximal femoral nail, lengthening proximal femur anti-rotation intramedulary nail fixation for repair of femoral neck combined with ipsilateral subtrochanteric fractures has more biomechanical advantages.
