a promising new approach to managing unstable intertrochanteric fractures during hip arthroplasty

Background: intertrochanteric fractures, commonly caused by falls in older people, are a significant issue. this study evaluated a new fixation technique for greater trochanter fractures in elderly hip arthroplasty patients. unstable intertrochanteric fractures present challenges in orthopedic surgery, and this article assessed a new method for fixing these fractures during hip arthroplasty.objectives: we assessed the efficacy and clinical outcomes of a new fixation technique for managing greater trochanter fractures in elderly patients during hip arthroplasty.methods: this retrospective study, conducted from 2019 to 2022 at poorsina and pars hospitals in rasht, included patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures. it assessed the efficacy and outcomes of a new fixation technique for the greater trochanter following hip arthroplasty. statistical analyses were conducted using spss software, version 24, employing the shapiro-wilk test, levene’s test, generalized estimation equations, and the chi-square and fisher’s exact tests.results: the new fixation technique significantly improved patient outcomes, leading to high rates of complete union, reduced pain levels, improved mobility, and lower complication rates.conclusion: the novel fixation technique for greater trochanter fractures shows significant promise in improving healing rates and reducing complications in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. this study provides a foundation for future research and clinical practice enhancements in orthopedic surgery.
