Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate collared and bipolar hemiarthroplasty combined with medial femoral calcar reconstruction in the treatment of senile patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:The data of 28 senile patients with unstable femoral intertrochanteric fracture were retrospectively analyzed who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedics, The First Affiliated Hospital to Zhejiang University of Chinese Medicine from March 2014 to February 2020. They were 8 males and 20 females, aged from 75 to 99 years (average, 81.5 years). All the fractures were low violence injuries due to falls. By the Evans-Jensen classification, there were 2 cases of type Ⅲ, 5 cases of type Ⅳ and 21 cases of type Ⅴ. All patients were osteoporotic, with a BMD T-score ranging from -4.5 to -2.0. Surgery was performed 2 to 6 days after injury (3.8 days on average). Corail collared femoral stems and bipolar ball heads produced by DePuy company were selected for implantation during surgery. Their fractures were reduced and fixated by titanium wire bundling system or bifilar winding wire bundles. The femoral calcar reconstruction was accomplished by inserting the beak-shaped distal part of the head-neck fracture fragment into the femoral medullary cavity together with the medial side of the stem just under the collar and impacting it to a tight position.Results:The average operation time for this group of patients was 62 min (from 50 to 85 min) and the average intraoperative blood loss 170 mL (from 110 to 320 mL). All the 28 patients were followed up for 10 to 71 months (average, 46 months). Their Harris hip scores averaged 92 points (from 89 to 96 points) at 6 months after operation. Two patients developed intermuscular venous thrombosis in the calf after operation. During follow-up, none of the patients had such complications as deep iliac femoral vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, incision infection, or deep prosthesis infection. At the last follow-up, their Harris hip scores averaged 88 points (from 82 to 96 points).Conclusion:For some senile patients with osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fracture, collared and bipolar hemiarthroplasty combined with medial femoral calcar reconstruction can achieve fine therapeutic efficacy.
