To analyze and compare the clinical and radiologic results of treatments in unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur with proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) and compression hip screw with trochanter stabilizing plate (CHS with TSP). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the results of 66 cases of unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur treated with PFNA (Group I) and CHS with TSP (Group II) which could be followed up for minimum a year. We evaluated several comparative factors such as operation time, blood loss, time to bone union, changes in neck-shaft angle, sliding of screw (or blade), complications, postoperative pain, social-function score of Jensen, and mobility score of Parker and Palmer. RESULTS Group I showed shorter operation time and less blood loss with significance than group II (p<0.05), but there were no differences between the groups in the mean time to bone union, changes in neck-shaft angle, sliding of screw (or blade), complications, postoperative pain, and social-function score of Jensen (p>0.05). Two cases of cutting out of the blade through the femoral head were found in group I. One case of cutting out of the screw, one case of the breakage of the plate, and loosening of the plate were found in group II as complications. CONCLUSION We think that there were no significant differences between PFNA and CHS with TSP in view point of radiologic and clinical outcomes in unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, but PFNA is less invasive device than CHS with TSP, therefore it may be useful device in elderly patients.

- PURPOSE
The purpose of the present study was to define the factors that affect the treatment and clinical result of displaced calcaneal fracture with use of the pre- operative and final follow-up computed tomography scanning. MATERIALS AND METHODS Present study included the 17 patients(18 feet) whom we performed surgery for displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture at our institution between March 2000 and March 2002 and had a minimum follow-up of 12 months. For all patients, the Bohler's angle and posterior facet incongruity were measured with computed tomography pre- and post-operatively. The Creighton-Nebraska Health Foundation Assessment Scale for Fractures of the Calcaneus (CN scale) was used to evaluate the clinical results. RESULTS Of all eighteen fractures, the clinical results were excellent in three (16.6%), good in six (33.3%), fair in six (33.3%), and poor in three (16.6%). The Bohler's angle averaged 21degrees, 15degrees, 27degrees, 25degrees at final follow-up in each above clinical result group. The step-off averaged 1.0, 1.6, 3.9 and 6.0 mm and the average range of motion of the subtalar joint at final follow-up were 85, 76, 60 and 45% of normal. CT evaluation showed intra-articular screws in the posterior subtalar joint in three (16.6%) of the eighteen fractures but their average clinical result was good (80.3 points). CONCLUSION The restoration of the congruity and range of motion of posterior subtalar joint are considered important factor that affect clinical result.
