摘要：

The incidence of proximal femur fractures is increasing due to aging of the population. Intramedullary nails are the mainstay of treatment for intertrochanteric hip fractures mainly due to their better biomechanical properties compared to dynamic hip screw devices, shorter operative time, and less blood loss during surgery. However intramedullary nail fixation is not devoid of complications. The purpose of this study is to look at complications related to intramedullary nailing for intertrochanteric hip fractures in a major trauma center. A retrospective study was conducted including all patients having suffered an intertrochanteric femur fracture and treated with intramedullary nails from October 1, 2020, to October 1, 2022, in the Orthopaedic Surgery Clinic. The intramedullary hip systems used were the Stryker Gamma3 Nail and the VITUS PF Nail. All complications following the postoperative period were recorded in detail. Overall, 240 patients with a mean age of 82.3 years treated with hip intramedullary devices were identified. Superior cutout of the lag screw in two patients (females 90 and 87 years old) was identified 8 and 10 weeks following initial surgery. Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head was identified in one patient (male 81 years old) which occurred 12 weeks postoperatively. All three cases were revised by replacing the nail with cemented hemiarthroplasty. Periprosthetic fractures occurred in an 88-year-old male and a 73-year-old female following an injury distal to the stem and were managed by replacing the nail with a long stem device (Long Gamma3). One case of metalwork fracture was also recorded. There are many advantages in managing intertrochanteric hip fractures with intramedullary hip devices such as shorter theater time, less blood loss, and improved biomechanical properties. However, complications such as cutout of the lag screw, AVN, and periprosthetic fracture are serious and require complex revision surgery. © 2024 by Begell House, Inc.
