Abstract

Objectives: To analyze the outcomes of patients with femoral neck fractures aged 50 years or older treated with Trochanteric Fixation Nail-Advanced (TFNA; DePuy Synthes, Paoli, PA) to determine the stability of fracture fixation and the effectiveness of the treatment.

Methods: Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Single level I trauma center.

Patient selection criteria: Patients aged 50 years or older who underwent fixation with TFNA helical blade for femoral neck fractures (OTA/AO 31-B) and were followed for more than 1 year were included.

Outcome measures and comparisons: Radiological examinations were evaluated to determine bone union, femoral neck shortening, development of avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head, and breakage of metal fixation. A comparison was made between patients with femoral neck shortening (>5 mm) and those without (<5 mm).

Results: A total of 45 patients were included in this study. The mean age of the patients was 70.2 (50-89) years, and 68.9% were females. No early postoperative complications, such as postoperative infection, deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism, were observed. All patients achieved bone union within 23 weeks. The average femoral neck shortening was 2.6 mm (0-16.8), with femoral neck shortening >5 mm observed in 7 patients (15.6%). Significant femoral neck shortening was observed in patients with displaced fractures compared to non-displaced fractures (p=0.006). One patient developed AVN of the femoral head. No metal fixation failure was observed.

Conclusions: In patients aged 50 years or older, TFNA fixation for non-displaced femoral neck fractures demonstrated relatively minimal femoral neck shortening and a low complication rate, indicating that it is an effective technique for treating these fractures. However, for displaced fractures, surgeons should be mindful of the potential for excessive neck shortening and carefully select the surgical method.

Level of evidence: Therapeutic Level III.

50岁以上股骨粗隆高级固定钉治疗不完全移位股骨颈骨折。
目的:分析50岁及以上股骨颈骨折患者采用高级股骨粗隆内固定钉(TFNA)治疗的疗效;DePuy Synthes, Paoli, PA)确定骨折固定的稳定性和治疗的有效性。方法:设计:回顾性队列研究。地点:一级创伤中心。患者选择标准:纳入年龄在50岁及以上,接受TFNA螺旋刀片固定治疗股骨颈骨折(OTA/ ao31 - b)并随访1年以上的患者。结果测量和比较:评估影像学检查以确定骨愈合、股骨颈缩短、股骨头无血管坏死(AVN)的发展和金属固定物的断裂。比较股骨颈缩短(bbb50 mm)和未缩短的患者(结果:共纳入45例患者)。患者平均年龄70.2岁(50 ~ 89岁),女性占68.9%。无术后早期并发症,如术后感染、深静脉血栓形成、肺栓塞。所有患者均在23周内实现骨愈合。股骨颈平均缩短2.6 mm(0 ~ 16.8),其中7例(15.6%)患者股骨颈缩短0.5 mm。与未移位骨折患者相比,移位骨折患者股骨颈明显缩短(p=0.006)。1例患者发生股骨头AVN。未见金属固定失败。结论:在50岁及以上的患者中,TFNA固定治疗非移位型股骨颈骨折,股骨颈缩短相对较小,并发症发生率较低,是治疗此类骨折的有效技术。然而,对于移位性骨折,外科医生应注意颈部过度缩短的可能性,并仔细选择手术方法。证据等级:治疗性III级。
