Abstract:
Complications after surgical treatment of trochanteric fracture such as varus deformity or delayed union are frequent and there are many difficulties to maintain the stability of fragments because of the cortical deficit or comminution on medial aspect of the neck and posterior trochanteric fragment. Evans, Dimon, Sarmiento and others suggested several methods of internal fixation, furthermore it is attempted recently to reduce the fragments anatomically with sliding compression hip screw and plate. 31 cases of interal fixation on trochanteric fracture were carried out from March, 1972 to February 1979 at the Orthopaedic Department of Seoul Adventist Hospital and their comparable results were as follows. 1. Acceptable placement of metals was noted 2 cases of 6 cases in Smith-Petersen nail with Thornton plate fixation, 2 cases out of 8 cases in Smith-Petersen nail with McLaughlin plate fixation and 9 cases out of 14 cases in sliding compression hip screw and plate fixation. 2. Complications after internal fixation such as varus deformity and delayed union were noted 1 case out of 3 cases in multiple pinning, 3 cases out of 6 cases in Smith-Petersen nail with Thornton plate fixation, 4 cases out of 8 cases in Smith-Petersen nail with McLaughlin plate fixation, 4 cases out of 14 cases in sliding compression hip screw and plate fixation. 3. Required weeks in union were 18 weeks in Multiple pinning, 20 weeks in Smith-Petersen nail with Thornton plate fixation, 25 weeks in Smith-Petersen nail with McLaughlin plate fixation and 16 weeks in sliding compression hip screw and plate fixation. 4. There are few complications in treatment of trochanteric fracture with surgical procedure using Sliding compression hip screw and plate.
