Abstract:
Objective:To compare the short-term effects of proximal femoral bionic nail (PFBN) and proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:Retrospectively analyzed were the data of 56 patients with intertrochanteric fracture of the femur who had been admitted to Department of Orthopedic Trauma, The People's Hospital of Juye County and Trauma Center, Central Hospital Affiliated to The First Medical University of Shandong from August 2020 to April 2022. The patients were divided into 2 even groups according to their internal fixation methods ( n=28). In the PFBN fixation group, there were 12 males and 16 females with an age of (70.4±7.8) years; by AO classification, there were 4 cases of type 31-A1, 16 cases of type 31-A2, and 8 cases of type 31-A3. In the PFNA fixation group, there were 10 males and 18 females with an age of (73.0±8.9) years; by AO classification, there were 2 cases of type 31-A1, 16 cases of type 31-A2, and 10 cases of type 31-A3. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture reduction, fracture healing time, Harris hip score, and complications were compared between the 2 groups. Results:There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the preoperative general data, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The follow-up time was (7.3±0.9) months for the PFBN group and (7.4±1.1) months for the PFNA group, showing no significant difference ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference either between the 2 groups in operation time, intraoperative blood loss or quality of fracture reduction ( P>0.05). The PFNA group had significantly shorter fracture healing time [(3.9±0.9) months] than the PFNA group [(4.7±1.1) months], and a significantly higher Harris hip score at the last follow-up [(83.9±4.3) points] than the PFNA group [(81.0±3.4) points] (both P<0.05). Fixation failed in one patient in the PFNA group due to cut-out of the head and neck screws while no complications were observed in the PFBN group. Conclusion:In the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur, PFBN fixation may result in stronger fixation to effectively avoid cut-out of the head and neck screws, and faster fracture healing and functional recovery of the hip than PFNA fixation.
