Outcome of Trochanteric femoral nailing in Intertrochanteric Fracture Femur ? A Prospective study

摘要

Trochanteric femoral nail is recently used as intramedullary device for treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. Trochanteric Femoral Nail (TFN) is very useful in osteoporotic, severely comminuted intertrochanteric fractures. Twenty two patients with intertrochanteric fractures were treated at College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital, Kamarhati for 2 Years. Patients were operated according to standard protocol. Postoperatively patients were evaluated with Harris Hip Score for functional outcome. Harris Hip Score at the end of 6 months was excellent in 50%, good in 25%., fair in 20% and poor in 5%. Complications are minimal with TFN. Intertrochanteric fractures treated with closed TFN had excellent outcome in most of the patients with early weight bearing and very good healing of fractures.
