ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the effectiveness of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) with intertrochanteric antegrade nail (InterTAN) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Methods:

A retrospective study of 62 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures who received two operation methods from Sep 2014 to May 2016 was done. There were 28 patients in PFNA group, and 34 patients in InterTAN group. The operation time, blood loss in operation, hospitalization time, healing time, and Harris hip joint functional score were compared and analyzed.

Results:

Operation time and the amount of intraoperative blood loss in PFNA group were less than that in InterTAN group. Hospitalization time,fracture healing time and Harris hip joint functional score after ten months had no significant difference between the two groups. And 59 cases in total were followed up with an average of 11.5 months (from 9 to 16 months) . In PFNA group, 27 patients were followed up, and one patient was lost to follow up, who died because of chronic renal insufficiency. The rest 26 patients all achieved bony union (including one case of hip versus) . At follow-up 9 months, hip joint function was excellent in 18 cases, good in 6, fair in 2, bad in 1, and the excellent-good rate was 88.9%. In InterTAN group,32 patients were followed up,and two cases were lost to follow up. In followed-up cases, there was one patient who was no healing of fracture. After hip arthroplasty, this patient got recovery. The hip joint function was excellent in 21 cases, good in 7, fair in 3, and bad in 1. The differences between the two groups were not statisticaly significant.

Conclusion:

Both PFNA and InterTAN can treat intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly with good result,but PFNA has obvious advantages over InterTAN on less hemorrhage and operation time.
