Objective:To explore the surgical techniques and outcomes of closed reduction for geriatric subtrochanteric femoral fractures with certain radiological characteristics.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in the 38 aged patients with subtrochanteric femoral fracture who had been treated at Department of Geriatric Orthopedics, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 2015 to December 2019. There were 24 females and 14 males, aged from 62 to 95 years (average, 80.9 years). According to the Seinsheimer classification, there were one case of type ⅡB, 7 cases of type ⅡC, 18 cases of type ⅢA, 9 cases of type Ⅳ, and 3 cases of type Ⅴ. The time from injury to operation averaged 2.3 days (from 0.5 to 8.0 days). The fractures of this cohort were characterized by: ①The starting point of the medial fracture line was at the proximal end and the lesser trochanter separated. ②The fracture end was shortened and overlapped on the medial side and angled outward, showing a varus deformity. ③The alignment returned to normal after traction, with only partial lateral displacement left. Before fixation with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA), all these patients were treated by closed reduction in a supine traction bed. In those whose reduction was unsatisfactory, a main nail was inserted or after the main nail was inserted reduction by leverage was performed through the screw blade incision. Intraoperatively, the quality of fracture reduction was evaluated according to the modified Baumgaertner assessment. Recorded were the patients’ operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, hip function and complications.Results:All the fractures achieved 100% of good to excellent reduction (38/38). The operation time ranged from 25 to 120 min (average, 55.6 min) and the intraoperative blood loss from 10 to 150 mL (average, 42.9 mL). This cohort of 38 patients was followed for 10 to 20 months (average, 15.3 months). All the fractures united after 3 to 8 months (average, 4.8 months). The Harris hip scores at the last follow-up ranged from 70 to 94 (average, 81.5). The follow-ups revealed no such complications as internal fixation failure, fracture re-displacement, malunion or nonunion.Conclusion:Closed reduction and PFNA fixation in a supine traction bed can lead to satisfactory clinical effects for the subtrochanteric femoral fractures with certain radiological characteristics in the aged patients.

Objective:To establish a classification system for the repair band in the subchondral bone origination point in MRI for traumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) and preliminarily explore the correlation between this classification and the progression of femoral head collapse.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 73 cases of traumatic ON-FH treated at the Quanzhou Orthopedic-traumatological hospital from January 2000 to December 2019. Among them, there were 46 males and 27 females with an average age of 34.9±8.3 years (range 19-55 years). Clinical and radiological data such as age, gender, side, fracture classification, reduction quality, JIC classification, and bone repair band (BRB) classification were recorded. The progression of traumatic ONFH was assessed using the ARCO staging system, with stages IIIA and IIIB defined as mild collapse and progressive collapse, respectively. The BRB classification was established based on MRI findings, and the inter- and intra-observer consistency of the BRB classification was analyzed using Kappa test. The correlation between the BRB classification and progressive femoral head collapse was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival curve and binary variable Cox regression analysis.Results:According to the BRB classification, 73 cases were divided into type 1 with superficial lesion in 38.4%, type 2 with uncertain lesion in 21.9%, and type 3 with extensive lesion in 39.7%. The inter-observer consistency Kappa value for the BRB classification was 0.798, and the intra-observer consistency Kappa value was 0.896, indicating a high level of consistency. A follow-up of 73 cases (54.8±34.9 months, range 24-165 months) showed a significant correlation between the BRB classification and ARCO staging at the last follow-up (χ 2=37.556, P<0.001), with progression to stages IIIA and IIIB as follows: type 1 had 3 and 1 cases, type 2 had 4 and 1 cases, and type 3 had 14 and 12 cases, respectively. Using the occurrence of progressive collapse (stage IIIB) as the endpoint, the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 2 was not statistically different from type 1 [ HR=1.766, 95% CI (0.465, 6.702), P=0.403]; the risk of progression to stage IIIB for type 3 was significantly higher than for type 1 [ HR=15.126, 95% CI (4.708, 48.592), P<0.001]. Conclusion:The BRB classification is closely related to the progression of traumatic ONFH and is an independent risk factor for predicting the occurrence of progressive collapse; this classification is helpful for early diagnosis and predicting the progression of collapse and treatment plan decision-making.
