- PURPOSE
To evaluate the functional status after Gamma nailing in inter-trochanteric fractures in elderly with functional recovery score (FRS).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
We reviewed 285 patients of intertrochanteric fracture treated by gamma nailing from January 1993 to May 2002 with follow up more than 3 years. We analized recovery of functional status concerned with sex, age, fracture pattern, functional recovery index.
RESULTS
The intertrochanteric fractures in elderly resulted in 15.8% loss of function after 3 years. The more functional loss was observed in female, the older age, and Boyd-Graffin type II fracture but, were not signifily related with functional loss except age.
CONCLUSION
We concluded that the age is the important factor to functional recovery to pre-injury status in elderly patients.
