摘要
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Intertrochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing incidence due to the aging population. Despite advancements in intramedullary nailing (IMN) technology, fixation failure remains a concern. This study aims to evaluate pre-and postoperative radiographic risk factors for varus collapse in geriatric intertrochanteric fractures treated with twin interlocking derotation and compression screw cephalomedullary nail (InterTAN, Smith & Nephew). MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients over 60 years with AO 31A1 and 31A2 intertrochanteric femur fractures treated with InterTAN at a tertiary referral center from August 2012 to August 2017. Patients with high-energy fractures, AO 31A3 fractures, or those requiring open reduction were excluded. Data on demographics, fracture classification, implant sizes, imaging studies, and follow-up were collected. Radiographic assessments included Chang's medial cortical support concept, tip-apex distance (TAD), calcar-referenced TAD (CalTAD), neck-shaft angles (NSA), and screw placement according to Cleveland zones. Varus collapse was defined as a >5 degrees change in NSA within three months postoperatively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for varus collapse. RESULTS The study included 136 patients with a mean age of 79.8 years, of whom 38.2% were male. The early postoperative tip- apex distance (TAD) averaged 21.9 mm, with 30.1% of patients experiencing varus collapse greater than 5 degrees. Positive medial cortical support (PMCS) or neutral position (NP) type reduction was highly protective against varus collapse (p < 0.001), as well as TAD less than 25 mm (p < 0.001). Additionally, the placement of screws in the central-central or central- inferior zones provided a protective effect against varus collapse (p = 0.031). Conversely, having an OTA/AO type A2.2 or A2.3 fracture significantly increased the risk of varus collapse (p = 0.030). Other factors, such as CalTAD and the nail width to medullary canal ratio, did not significantly predict varus collapse (p = 0.831 and p = 0.952, respectively). DISCUSSION Our findings align with previous studies highlighting TAD and screw placement as critical factors in preventing fixation failure. The protective effect of PMCS or NP reduction and the increased risk associated with OTA/AO type A2.2 and A2.3 fractures are noteworthy. Unlike previous studies, CalTAD was not significantly associated with varus collapse in our cohort. The study underscores the importance of surgical technique and radiographic parameters in optimizing outcomes for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures. CONCLUSIONS In elderly patients treated with InterTAN nails, varus collapse is influenced by fracture type, TAD, reduction quality, and screw placement. Ensuring a TAD <25 mm, achieving PMCS or NP reduction, and placing screws in central-central or central-inferior zones are crucial for minimizing varus collapse. These findings highlight the importance of meticulous surgical technique and radiographic assessment in managing intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.
