Functional outcome of intertrochanteric fractures treated with trochanteric stabilizing plates

Background: Intertrochanteric fractures account for significant percentage of health care costs and result in high rates morbidity mortality. Since higher rate mortality complications most can be successfully treated with trochanteric stabilizing plates. This study was conducted to assess functional outcome intertrochanteric fracture femur plates define ideal mode fixation such fractures. Trochanter plate (TSP) is modular extension dynamic hip screw (DHS) that mounted on lateral femoral wall stabilize greater trochanter. It provides the flexibility achieve bone apposition as well axial compression or angular stability because three fixations at proximal fragment. TSF provide a stress shield prevent migration fragments. Thus, does not fail interface strong anchor osteoporotic bone. The multiple locking holes various options tackle complex pattern. functions an internalized external fixator minimizes pressure periosteum encourages biological healing. Methods: A total 30 subjects undergoing treatment were taken up after informed consent. Results: Significant results obtained using Harris score (HHS) different postoperative follow time intervals good low complication rate. Conclusions: Trochanteric buttress creates biomechanically stable construct by incorporating comminuted trochanter it restores anatomy, ensuring anatomical reduction hence subsequently reduces limb length discrepancy. We thus conclude this effective technique has excellent radiological outcomes minimal early rehabilitation rates. As very common condition affecting large number patients variable demographics racial background, more widespread required conclusive study.
