Abstract:
BACKGROUND:With more and more research available,there are different classification systems for intertrochanteric fracture,from Evans and Boyd-Griffin classification to Evans-Jensen and AO/OTA classification,all providing guidance for choosing an appropriate treatment scheme.OBJECTIVE:To review the advance in the treatment of senile unstable intertrochanteric fractures.METHODS:PubMed,Web of Science,WanFang and CNKI databases were searched with the keywords of intertrochanteric fracture,intramedullary nail,hip arthroplasty in English and Chinese,respectively.1 535 literatures were retrieved firstly,and finally 47 articles were included in accordance with the inclusion and exclusion criteria.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The therapy conception of intertrochanteric fractures has been changed from conservative traction to early surgical treatment.With the development of technology,the internal fixators have been improved continuously.Screw-plate system has been developed from Jewett plate,AO/ASIF plate to dynamic hip screw.Intramedullary nails such as Gamma,proximal femoral and proximal femoral antirotation nails have been successfully applied in clinic.Senile patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures also obtain favorable prognosis through active internal fixation,but the high incidence of complications appears because of osteoporosis,osteogenesis deficiency and accompanied by degenerative hip diseases.Thereafter,hip arthroplasty is recommended to treat senile unstable intertrochanteric fractures so as to achieve rapid functional recovery,desired efficacy and low incidence of complications.However,it still remains controversial to choose internal fixation or hip arthroplasty.
