ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this study was to report the clinical result of subtrochanteric fractures which were treated with Rowe plate. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
30 cases of subtrochanteric fracture, which were operatively treated with Rowe plate, were evaluated clinically and radiographically. All patients were followed for at least 1 year.RESULTS:
Primary bony union was achieved in 28 cases (93%) . Bony union after secondary operative procedure was obtained in 2 cases (6.7%) . The fracture was united within 6 months except 3 cases. As complications, coxa vara deformity under 120. of neck-shaft angle was observed in 2 cases and one of them was associated with limb shortening more than 1 cm.CONCLUSION:
We could obtain satisfactory clinical results with the use of Rowe plate in treating some selected cases of subtrochanteric fracture. The good indications for the use of Rowe plate seem to be some subtrochanteric fracture associated with intertrochanteric fracture, long spiral subtrochanteric fracture, comminuted subtrochanteric fracture with multiple large fragment, and subtrochanteric fracture in deformed proximal femur.
