ECHEVARRIA CASTILLO, Rafael  e  PEREDA CARDOSO, Osvaldo. Supporting osteotomy in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2000, vol.14, n.1-2, pp. 17-20. ISSN 1561-3100.

A descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study of 48 patients with diagnosis of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures treated with Dimon and Hughston’s or Sarmiento’s osteotomies with a follow-up of one year was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of these osteotomies in relation to the time of consolidation and the stability of the reduction. It was analyzed the behavior of different variables and their influence on results such as age, sex, diagnosis, preoperative stay, surgical treatment, efficiency of the reduction, clinical evolution, time of consolidation, complications, sequelae and final outcome. Recommendations are made in connection with the advantages of osteotomy, since it allows an early support at the expense of the stability it provides.
