Abstract:
PURPOSE: To evaluate the radiographic, clinical results and the complications between who had intertrochanteric fracture, treated with the ITST or the PFN. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We selected each 30 patients of intertrochanteric fracture which were treated with ITST or PFN from July 2002 to November 2005. We evaluated the radiographic results by follow-up radiography and the clinical results with the mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function scoring system and Jensen index. RESULTS: The mean distance of lag screw sliding was 4.1 mm at the ITST group and 6.6 mm at the PFN group. Decrease of mobility score of Parker and Palmer, Salvati and Wilson hip function score were similar. Patients complaint pain over lateral thigh area in 5 cases (ITST group) and 8 cases (PFN group). CONCLUSION: The ITST nail and PFN were seen good results in treatment of stable and unstable intertrochanteric fracture.
