Introduction: Application of dynamic hip screw (DHS) implant for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures continues to raise concern related to risk of lag screw cut-out with or without subsequent damage to the acetabulum. Measurement of tip-apex distances (TAD) has been recommended to guide the optimal placement of lag screw and to predict subsequent risk of screw cut-out. In this study, the value of TAD was evaluated to verify its usefulness. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 33 consecutive patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated with DHS. Demographic data of the patients were traced from their case notes. Post-operative radiographs were reviewed by focusing on measurement of TAD on anteroposterior and lateral radiographs. Radiographs at one year follow-up were reviewed to depict any fixation-related failure or complication. Results: Fifty two percent of patients did not achieved the recommended TAD of ≤ 25mm. The mean post-operative TAD was 25.9mm and elderly patients were likely to achieve TAD of ≤ 25mm. The overall complication rate of 6% was attributed to screw cut-out in two cases. The unstable left-sided fracture was identified to be a potential risk for screw cut-out or migration. Conclusion: TAD is a valuable measurement to guide optimal placement of lag screw during DHS fixation of intertrochanteric fracture.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> <span lang="EN-IN">Incidence of intertrochanteric fractures has increased significantly during recent years and<strong> </strong>it will probably continue to rise in near future due to increased longevity of life.

Abstract BackgroundA majority of femoral neck fractures are indicated for surgical treatment within the scope of applicable guidelines. However, the reported overall complication rate in elderly patients one year after hip fracture fixation was 33.3%. The purpose of this study was to clarify the incidence of complications one year after femoral neck fracture fixation using a sliding hip screw with a side plate device in elder than 65-year-old patients.MethodsWe studied the results of 115 cases of the internal fixation for femoral neck fractures in patients older than 65 years of age using the Twins device (HOYA Technosurgical Corporation, Tokyo, Japan). We could follow up 39 of these 115 cases at one year after fixation and retrospectively investigated complications in these patients. Research outcomes were mortality, surgical site infection (SSI), loss of reduction, aseptic necrosis, late segmental collapse (LSC), nonunion, periprosthetic fracture, reoperation, and recovery of walking ability.ResultsThe patients consisted of 13 men and 26 women (mean age 80.5 years, range 65-104 years). Mortality was observed in four cases (14.2%), SSI in one case (2.5%), loss of reduction in six cases (15.4%), aseptic necrosis in seven cases (17.9%), LSC in three cases (7.6%), nonunion in eight cases (20.5%), periprosthetic fracture in three cases (7.6%), and reoperation was performed in seven cases (17.9%), respectively. In 28 cases, the patients could walk independently before injury; this decreased to 19 cases after injury (67.9%).ConclusionsIn our study, the incidence of loss of reduction rate and periprosthetic fracture rate were relatively high. Other complications of the Twins device evaluated were equivalent to those reported previously.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Pertrochanteric fractures are relatively common among the elderly. Common techniques for fixation of these fractures are sliding hip screw and plate or intramedullary nailing. The objective of the present study was designed to<em> </em>evaluate and analyze the role of proximal femoral nail antirotation II (PFNA II) in the treatment of unstable pertrochanteric fractures.</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> It was a prospective study on 50 cases of unstable pertrochanteric fractures.

Hip fractures are very common in adults, but are rare entities in children, comprising less than 1% of all pediatric fractures. The authors present a clinical case of a 6-year-old girl with an intertrochanteric hip fracture — displaced Delbet’s type IV — treated with a pediatric sliding hip screw. The osteosynthesis material was removed 10 months later. The Delbet type IV hip fractures corresponds to 12% of all pediatric hip fractures. This type of fractures in children older than 3 years old should be treated with internal fixation with a sliding hip screw or a proximal femur locking plate. Preferably the reduction of the fracture should be done within 24 hours. Despite the delay of the surgical procedure, the patient got an excellent recovery without any of the complications described in the literature with a follow-up of 26 months upon the implant-removal surgery.
