Abstract: (137 Views)
Background: Intertrochanteric fractures, commonly caused by falls in older people, are a significant issue. This study evaluated a new fixation technique for greater trochanter fractures in elderly hip arthroplasty patients. Unstable intertrochanteric fractures present challenges in orthopedic surgery, and this article assessed a new method for fixing these fractures during hip arthroplasty.
Objectives: We assessed the efficacy and clinical outcomes of a new fixation technique for managing greater trochanter fractures in elderly patients during hip arthroplasty.
Methods: This retrospective study, conducted from 2019 to 2022 at Poorsina and Pars hospitals in Rasht, included patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures. It assessed the efficacy and outcomes of a new fixation technique for the greater trochanter following hip arthroplasty. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software, version 24, employing the Shapiro-Wilk test, Levene’s test, generalized estimation equations, and the chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests.
Results: The new fixation technique significantly improved patient outcomes, leading to high rates of complete union, reduced pain levels, improved mobility, and lower complication rates.
Conclusion: The novel fixation technique for greater trochanter fractures shows significant promise in improving healing rates and reducing complications in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. This study provides a foundation for future research and clinical practice enhancements in orthopedic surgery.
