Objective To evaluate long-term radiographic and functional outcomes between dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) fixation for treatment of osteoporotic type 31-A1 intertrochanteric femoral fractures (IFFs) among elderly patients Methods A retrospective comparative study was carried out. Follow-up was performed at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively and yearly thereafter. The primary outcome was the radiographic outcome, and the secondary outcome was the functional outcome. Results A significant difference in radiographic complications was observed between the DHS group (n = 45, 40.2%) and PFNA group (n = 15, 13.6%). The risk of femoral shaft fracture after implant removal at the 1-year follow-up was increased by 0.9% (n = 1) and 6.3% (n = 7) in the PFNA and DHS groups, respectively. This difference persisted with rates of 3.6% (n = 4) and 12.5% (n = 14) at the final follow-up. Additionally, significant differences were present in the Harris hip score at each visit. Conclusion Our results indicate that PFNA yields better outcomes than DHS fixation among elderly patients with osteoporotic type 31-A1 IFFs.

Resumo Objetivo Identificar a energia necessária para ocorrência de fratura do fêmur proximal em osso sintético após retirada de três modelos de implantes: parafusos canulados, parafuso dinâmico do quadril (dynamic hip screw-DHS) e haste femoral proximal (proximal femoral nail-PFN). Métodos Foram utilizados 25 modelos de ossos sintéticos da extremidade proximal do fêmur: 10 unidades de grupo controle (GC), 5 unidades após colocação e retirada de 3 parafusos canulados colocados em configuração de triângulo invertido (GPC), 5 unidades após colocação e retirada do parafuso de compressão dinâmico (GDHS), e 5 unidades após colocação e retirada da haste de fêmur proximal (GPFN). Uma análise biomecânica foi realizada em todas as amostras simulando uma queda sobre o grande trocânter utilizando uma máquina servo-hidráulica com o objetivo de verificar a energia (em Joules [J]) necessária até a ocorrência de fratura nos diferentes grupos. Resultados Todos os grupos apresentaram fratura basocervical. Os grupos GC, GPC, GDHS e GPFN apresentaram, respectivamente, valores de 7.1J, 6.6J, 6J e 6.7J de energia até ocorrência da fratura. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa (intervalo de confiança de 95%) na energia entre os grupos de estudo (p = 0,34). Conclusão Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa nos valores de energia necessária para ocorrência de fratura da extremidade proximal do fêmur após a retirada de três tipos de implantes utilizando modelos sintéticos simulando queda sobre o grande trocânter.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> The incidence of inter trochanteric fracture is expected to have doubled by 2040. Inter trochanteric fractures account for about 45% to 50% of all hip fractures in the elderly populationand out of these, near about 50% to 60% are classified as unstable intertrochanteric fractures. The goal of treatment is restoring mobility safely and efficiently, while minimizing the risk of medical complications and technical failure.

BACKGROUND Current management of Intertrochanteric (IT) fractures has evolved with the introduction of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and proximal femoral nail (PFN). The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes between the DHS and PFN for IT fracture fixation. METHODS This study is a retrospective comparative analysis of 455 patients with IT fractures; DHS (292) and PFN (163), who were treated from June 2012 to June 2015. The patients were reviewed postoperatively for a minimum of 12 months to evaluate functional outcome using Salvati-Wilson score. Categorical data was present as absolute number or percentages, and parametric variables were presented as Mean ± SD, while non parametric data were presented as median. Statistical significance was defined as P < 0.05. RESULTS Intramedullary nails offer no advantage over extramedullary devices to treat IT fractures caused by low-energy trauma (AO 31 - A1). However, clinically significant outcomes were established for PFN group in terms of duration of surgery, x- ray exposure and SW Score for AO / OTA 31 - A2 and 31 - A3. Reoperations encountered for local pain due to implant prominence were significantly higher in the PFN group (4.90 % versus 1.02 %). Kaplan Meier survival probability of 69.3 % and 79.5 % predicted for DHS and PFN respectively, 3 years postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Our conclusion reinforces indication for PFN in unstable IT fractures (31 - A2 and 31 - A3), owing to its better functional outcome and biomechanical properties. Functional outcomes for stable IT fracture (AO 31 - A1) were comparable between DHS and PFN, therefore final decision for implant choice depends on implant cost, surgeon’s preference for specific technique. However, understanding the morphology of proximal femur, peritrochanteric region is crucial to analyse the anatomical variations in Indian population which will provide the basis for intramedullary nail design modifications.
