İNTERTROKANTERİK FEMUR KIRIKLARININ TEDAVİSİNDE KULLANILAN İKİ FARKLI PROKSİMAL FEMUR ÇİVİSİNİN KLİNİK VE RADYOLOJİK SONUÇLARI

Abstract

Amaç Bu çalışmanın amacı iki farklı tipte proksimal femur çivisi (PFÇ) kullanılarak internal fiksasyon uygulanan intertrokanterik femur kırığı (İTK) olgularında fonksiyonel ve radyolojik sonuçların karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem Bu çalışmada 1 Ocak 2012 – 31 Aralık 2018 tarihleri arasında kliniğimizde İTK nedeniyle ameliyat edilen hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Olgular uygulanan PFÇ tipine göre Profin ve İnterTan olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Bulgular 78 olgunun 41’i Profin, 37’si İnterTAN grubundaydı. Olguların %47,4’ü erkek, yaş ortalaması 74,12 ± 8,91’di. İnterTan grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında, Profin grubunda skopi süresi ve mobilizasyona kadar geçen süre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazlaydı (sırasıyla, p = 0,002, p = 0,037). Profin grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında, İnterTan grubunda hastanede yatış süresi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazlaydı (p = 0,001). Operasyondan bir yıl sonra değerlendirilen femur boyun açısı İnterTan grubunda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazlaydı (p <0.001). İnterTan grubu ile karşılaştırıldığında, Profin grubunda varus deformitesi sıklığı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde daha fazlaydı (%8,11’e karşın %61,0, p <0.001). Gruplar arasında Harris kalça skoru bakımında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark yoktu (p = 0,630). Harris kalça skorunu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla yapılan çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi sonucunda, komplikasyon gelişen (p<0,001) ve revizyon yapılan hastalarda (p<0,001) Harris kalça skorunun diğerlerine göre daha düşük olduğu saptandı. Sonuç Varus deformitesi Profin uygulanan olgularda daha fazla sıklıkta gelişmiş olsa da, gruplar arasında fonksiyonel sonuçlar, kırık kaynama süresi, komplikasyon ve revizyon sıklığı açısından anlamlı fark yoktu. İTK olgularında redüksiyon ve kırık tespiti iyi düzeyde yapılırsa, seçilen implant tipinin çok önemli olmadığı söylenebilir.

CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL RESULTS OF TWO DIFFERENT PROXIMAL FEMUR NAILS USED IN THE TREATMENT OF INTERTROCHANTERIC FEMUR FRACTURES

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to compare the functional and radiological results of intertrochanteric femoral fractures (İTF) patients who underwent internal fixation using two different types of proximal femoral nails (PFN). Materials and Methods In this study, the files of patients who were operated for İTF in our clinic between January 1, 2012 and December 31, 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The cases were divided into two groups as Profin and InterTan according to the type of PFN applied. Results 41 of 78 cases were in Profin group and 37 were in InterTAN group. 47.4% of the cases were male, the mean age was 74.12 ± 8.91. When compared to the InterTan group, the duration of fluoroscopy and time to mobilization were significantly higher in the Profin group (p = 0.002, p = 0.037, respectively). The duration of hospital stay was statistically significantly higher in the InterTan group compared to the Profin group (p = 0.001). The femoral neck angle evaluated one year after the operation was statistically significantly higher in the InterTan group (p <0.001). When compared with the InterTan group, varus deformity was statistically significantly more common in the Profin group (61.0% versus 8.11%, p <0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of Harris Hip Score (HHS) (p = 0.630). As a result of multiple linear regression analysis performed to determine the factors affecting the HHS, it was found that the HHS was lower in patients with complications (p <0.001) and revision (p <0.001) compared to the others. Conclusion Although varus deformity was more frequent in patients who underwent Profin, there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of functional results, time to union, complications, and revision frequency. If reduction and fracture fixation is done well in ITF cases, it can be said that the type of implant chosen is not very important.
