Abstract:
Objective:To summarize the age, gender difference, cause, location, time, treatment and prognosis of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm, and analyze the influence of different treatment methods on the occurrence of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm.Methods:Using the method of systematic literature review, a total of 76 literatures were retrieved from multiple databases at home and abroad, and 45 literatures were screened out through the second screening of title, abstract and full text. The patients with intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm were selected as the research objects, and the duplicate cases were deleted; the age, gender, onset age, etiology, location, treatment and prognosis of the disease were retrospectively analyzed.Results:A total of 54 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fracture related pseudoaneurysms were selected from 45 literatures, including 25 males and 27 females, and 2 cases had no gender; aged from 43 to 94 years old, and 4 cases were younger than 60 years old, 6 between 61 and 70, 17 between 71 and 80, and 25 between 81 and 90. Forty-five cases occurred in deep femoral artery, 3 cases in superficial femoral artery, 1 case in superior gluteal artery, 1 case of medial circumflex artery, 1 case of lateral circumflex femoral artery, 1 case of femoral artery, and 2 cases of unknown location. The occurrence time of pseudoaneurysm: 17 cases within 1 week after fracture, 8 cases from 1 week to 3 weeks, 19 cases from 3 weeks to 3 months, 2 cases more than 3 months, and 8 cases unknown. The causes of pseudoaneurysm: among the 54 patients, 41 cases had definite causes, including 21 cases of vascular injury caused by fracture block; 20 cases of iatrogenic injury, of which the incidence of direct injury of blood vessels by screw or drill was the highest, accounting for 55% (11/20). Twenty-two cases were treated with vascular embolization, 10 cases with surgical sutures, 8 cases with surgical ligation, 4 cases with resection of pseudoaneurysm, 5 cases with covered stent, and 4 cases with thrombin injection. There were 42 cases who had follow-up data, and no recurrence and other complications were found during the follow-up period.Conclusion:The peak age of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm was 71-90 years old. The incidence of femoral intertrochanteric fracture complicated with pseudoaneurysm was more often within 1 week after fracture and 3 weeks to 3 months after fracture, due to fracture fragments and iatrogenic vascular injury caused by the location of the profundus femoris artery. Treatment options include vascular embolization, surgical ligation, suture or resection of pseudoaneurysm, covered stent and thrombin injection, and the prognosis is generally good.
