Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of lesser trochanter fracture on the rehabilitation of patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture after PFNA. Methods 80 patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture treated at our hospital from February, 2014 to February, 2015 were selected and were divided into group A (without lesser trochanter fracture) and group B (with lesser trochanter fracture), 40 cases for each group. both group were treated by PFNA. The treatment effects were compared between these two groups. Results The operation time and intra-operative bleeding volume were (56.32±4.45) min and (219.75±90.85) ml in group A and were (64.25±6.89) min and (275.26±80.33) ml in group B, with statistical differences (bothP<0.05). 3 and 12 months after operation, the Harris scores were (38.44±4.69) and (91.23±2.26) in group A and were (28.21±3.05) and (80.46±3.16) in group B, with statistical differences (bothP<0.05). The incidence of complications was 2.50% in group A and 20.00% in group B, with a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusions Lesser trochanter fracture can increase PFNA operation time, intra-operative bleeding volume, and incidence of complications in patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture and affect the patients’ recovery of hip joint function and is not good for the patients postoperative rehabilitation. Key words: Femoral intertrochanteric fracture; Intertrochanteric fracture; PFNA
