Comparative Study of Intertrochanteric Fracture Treated with the Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-Rotation and the Third Generation of Gamma Nail: Jae Cheon Sim, Tae Ho Kim, Ki Do Hong, Sung Sik Ha, Jong Seong Lee; J Korean Fract Soc 2013;26(1):37-43. Published online January 31, 2013; DOI: https://doi.org/10.12671/jkfs.2013.26.1.37

PURPOSE
To compare the result between the third generation gamma nail (gamma 3 nail) and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Between March 2009 and June 2011, 47 consecutive patients with unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures were treated with gamma 3 nail or PFNA. We reviewed 24 cases of gamma 3 nail and 23 cases of PFNA. Retrospectively, we evaluated the mean operation time, amount of bleeding, average union period, reduction status, change of neck shaft angle, Tip-apex distance, Cleveland index, sliding of lag screw and complication on set of telephone interview and outpatient. We also evaluated the postoperative capability of function and mobility, using 'Modified Koval index'.
RESULTS
There were no significant differences between the groups, which were treated with gamma 3 nail and PFNA. In addition, they did not show statistical difference. We experienced 2 cases of complication (gamma 3 nail 1 case, PFNA 1 case), which were cut-out of the femoral head.
CONCLUSION
The gamma 3 nail and PFNA were seen with good results in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture.

Abstract PDF

PURPOSE
To evaluate clinical and radiological results of surgical treatment of femur intertrochantenric fracture using Gamma 3 nail.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
With clinical study, 22 patients who were treated surgically by Gamma 3 nail were retrospectively evaluated. By postoperative radiograph and last follow up radiograph we measured Tip-apex distance, Cleveland index, Neck-shaft angle change Lag screw slippage and Union time. And By medical record review, the clinical results were evaluated with the operation time, intraperative estimated blood loss, amount of transfusion, change of mobility and complication.
RESULTS
The mean change of femur neck shaft angle was 5.18 degrees. The mean lag screw sliding was 5.43 mm. The mean bone union time was 11.8 weeks. From all of these examples shows bone union. The mean operative time was 41 min, blood loss was 161 ml and the transfusion amount was 0.3 pint. In Ceder et al mobility score, it showed 0.2 point decreased and in Jensen social function score, it showed 0.6 point increased. Comparing the results before and after operation, the results were satisfactory.
CONCLUSION
Using the Gamma 3 nail, the treatment of fermur intertrochanteric fractures showed good results both radiologically and clinically.
