Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effect of titanium cable assisted fixation combined with lengthened Gamma nail in the treatment of subtrochanteric fracture of femur.
METHODS:From January 2010 to January 2018, 45 patients with long subtrochanteric fractures were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into two groups according to the operation plan. There were 24 cases of titanium cable assisted fixation combined with lengthened Gamma nail (observation group), including 14 males and 10 females, with an age of (54.2±12.8) years; 21 patients (control group) were treated with simple lengthened Gamma nail (control group), including 12 males and 9 females, with an age of (51.4±15.9) years. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay, hemoglobin decrease and fracture healing time were observed and recorded in the two groups. Harris hip function score was used to evaluate the postoperative curative effect, and the occurrence of complications was observed.
RESULTS:All patients were followed up for 14 to 36 months. There was significant difference in operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospital stay between two groups(
CONCLUSION:Lengthened Gamma nail fixation is reliable in the treatment of subtrochanteric fracture. Limited incision titanium cable assisted fixation can improve the reduction rate and fixation strength of long segment fracture, which is conducive to early functional exercise.
