Abstract EN
This study aimed to evaluate whether the augmentation of CaP into the femoral head around the lag screw results in superior clinical and radiological outcomes of treatment of unstable trochanteric fractures using an intramedullary (IM) implant.
Fifty-six consecutive patients with unstable trochanteric fractures who had been surgically treated with IM devices between 2014 and 2016 were prospectively reviewed and randomly divided into two groups based on the use of CaP degradable cements: 28 patients were assigned to the CaP group, while the other 28 patients were assigned to the control group (no use of CaP).
Clinical evaluations and radiological analyses were conducted during a minimum of 2-year follow-up.
No significant differences in the mean visual analogue scale for the hip pain scores and modified Harris Hip Scores were found between the CaP group and the controls at postoperative 2 months and 2 years.
However, earlier walker ambulation was possible in the CaP group (10 ± 9 days) compared to the control group (13 ± 12 days) (P = 0.02).
In radiological analysis, the CaP group showed significantly lower difference between tip-apex distance measured immediately after surgery and that measured at one-year follow-up compared to the control group (P = 0.012).
No screw cut-out occurred in the CaP group, while one patient in the control group was reoperated for screw cut-out.
The CaP augmentation into the femoral head around lag screw can reduce lag screw penetration, prevent screw cut-out beyond the femoral head, and facilitate early ambulation in elderly patients with unstable trochanteric fractures.
