Abstract:
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of medical supporting bone graft following posterior approach and bone cement implantation in the hip joint in treating intertrochanteric fracture.METHODS: A computer-based online search of Science Direct, Ei databases was performed for English articles published between January 1960 and October 2009, with the key words "bone cement, intertrochanteric fracture". In addition, CNKI and CBM were searched for related Chinese articles published between January 1994 and October 2009, with the key words "intertrochanteric fracture, coxa vara, posterior approach of hip joint, bone cement implantation in major screw hole". Moreover,related books were manually searched. Treatment of intertrochanteric fracture, basic and clinical experiment of intertrochanteric fracture treated by bone cement was included.RESULTS: Intertrochanteric fracture treatment includes lateral or anterior approach for dynamic hip plate system, dynamic hip screw, and femoral proximal intramedullary screw internal fixation. Dynamic hip screw is standard internal fixation to treat intertrochanteric fracture, with strong anti-rotation function, and meets the biomechanical requirements. However, screw loosening,extraction and breakage frequently occur. Cancellous bone screw track enhanced by bone cement increases screw retention force,benefits screw compression, enhances bone-screw interface to transfer the stress to screw-bone regions, which significantly increases the anti-flexion and anti-torsion strength of dynamic hip screw and improves fracture stability. The mechanism involves the integral formation of cancellous bone, bone cement and screw by the micro-interlocking of bone trabecula and surrounding cancellous bone.CONCLUSION: Dynamic hip screw filled by bone cement significantly enhances the anti-flexion and anti-torsion strength of internal fixation and improves fracture stability.
