Resumen

ALVAREZ BENITO, Octavio et al. Results of osteosynthesis in unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with proximal femoral nailing. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2023, vol.37, n.1  Epub 01-Mar-2023. ISSN 1561-3100.

Introduction:

Intertrochanteric fractures of the proximal end of the femur constitute the nosological group with the highest morbidity and mortality of traumatic skeletal injuries.

Objective:

To evaluate reduction, implant placement and consolidation time.

Methods:

A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out in 114 patients with diagnosis of fractures of the proximal end of the femur treated with proximal femoral nailing, and a one-year postoperative follow-up.

Results:

A functional clinical result from excellent to good was achieved in 82.4% of the cases. Radiological signs of consolidation were evidenced in an average of 4.2 months in most of the sample.

Conclusions:

Loss of fixation was the most frequent complication; therefore, proximal femoral nailing is considered to offer good results in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.
