Intertrochanteric Fractures: Treatment and Elderly Challenges | Dr. Pradeep Kocheeppan

Once intertrochanteric fracture is diagnosed and the decision to operate is done every fixation is decided upon the quality of the bone standard treatment for this called dynamic hip screw used to be done from last 40 years and it works well if the bone quality is good but if bone quality is not good the treatment has gone to in the form of proximal fixation nails and intertrochanteric fixation nails but we have started also seeing people at 90 95 coming for the same intertrochanteric fractures and uh in such cases even these advanced nails may not be able to have a stronghold so we have had patients where we fix with the standard wooden advanced nails called TFN but still the screws tend to back out as they start to mate to walk and all to avoid such things through these nails and screws we can put some injectable cements into it and stabilize overall the principle remains if the bone quality is good fix it mobilize the patient. #apollohospitals #IntertrochantericFracture #HipFractureTreatment #ElderlyCare #BoneHealth #Orthopedics ___________________________________________________________________________________ Apollo Hospitals is the leading multi-specialty hospitals group in India.
