Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy under local anesthesia and general anesthesia proximal femoral nail anti-rotation(PFNA) fixation for intertrochanteric fracture of femur in high risk patients.
METHODS:From February 2018 to February 2019, 32 patients underwent PFNA operation due to intertrochanteric fracture of femur, including 16 patients undergoing PFNA operation under local anesthesia, 9 males and 7 females, aged 54 to 98 (82.43±9.30) years and hospitalized for (10.94±5.30) days;16 patients undergoing PFNA operation under general anesthesia, 6 males and 10 females, aged 51 to 83 (72.69±9.48) years and hospitalized for (12.88±4.12) days. The patients' gender, age, fracture AO classification, preoperative VAS (visual analogue score), preoperative ASA condition grade, postoperative 1st day resting state VAS, hospitalization cost and length of stay were recorded.
RESULTS:All patients recovered well, the wound healed well, and the ability of lower limb activity was restored. The average follow-up time was 4.6 months. There was significant difference in age between two groups (< 0.05);there was no significant difference in sex ratio, AO classification of fracture and VAS before operation (>0.05). There was no significant difference on ASA between two groups (>0.05), but there was significant difference on ASA≥grade Ⅲ between two groups (<0.05). In local anesthesia group, VAS pain score was 4.19±1.50, which was tolerable. There was no significant difference in postoperative 1st day resting state VAS, average hospitalization cost and average length of stay between two groups(>0.05).
CONCLUSION:Under the multi-disciplinary diagnosisand treatment mode, the method of PFNA operation is safe and feasible, the patients with local anesthesia are older, and the proportion of patients with ASA≥grade Ⅲ is higher, which is better for some elderly high-risk patients than general anesthesia.
