Abstract

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation Ⅱ(PFNA Ⅱ) internal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture. Methods From September 2012 to April 2016, the clinical data of 37 patients with intertrochanteric fracture who were treated by PFNAⅡ internal fixation in Yuehua Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results All 37 patients were successfully operated, and the operation time was 40~120 min, with an average of 66 min.The amount of blood loss was 30~110 mL, with an average of 50 mL.During operation and after operation, X ray showed a good position and steady internal fixation.Three days after operation, patients exercised diseased side hip joint.Seven days after operation, patients exercised sitting on the bed.Fourteen days after operation, suture was dismantled and patients could get out of bed and walk with no weight or some weight.Lower limb deep venous thrombosis(DVT) was not observed.Through operative multiple reexamination, the fracture was healed and hip joint function was good. Conclusion PFNA Ⅱ has advantages of convenient operation, less trauma, stronger internal fixation, rapid recovery.It is an ideal method to treat intertrochanteric fracture.
