Hip Fracture Types & Fixation - Everything You Need To Know - Dr. Nabil Ebraheim

Dr. Ebraheim's animated educational video describes hip fracture types and the fixation. This is a quick review of hip fracture types and its fixation. Femoral neck fracture (subcapital fracture) •High incidence of avascular necrosis (AVN) and nonunion. •High mortality rate in the elderly. Treatment: oNondisplaced: pinning by cannulated screws for the young and elderly patients. oDisplaced in young patients: open or closed reduction followed by pinning with cannulated screws. oDisplaced in elderly people: prosthesis (bipolar, unipolar or total hip). oIt is not advisable to do closed reduction and screw fixation in displaced subcapital fractures in the elderly. Intertrochanteric fracture Two types: 1-Regular : •Reduction •Compression hip screw •Intramedullary nail (Long, short): if a long nail is used, make sure you do not perforate the anterior cortex of the distal femur. 2-Reverse oblique: affects the lateral cortex of the femur Treatment: •Intramedullary nail •Blade plate •Fixed angle plate •IM rod: done in majority of cases •Compression hip screw: do not use. Medial displacement of the fracture due to pull from the adductor muscles. Compression hip screw is not a suitable device for reverse oblique fractures. Subtrochanteric fracture •The fracture line extends distally to the lesser trochanter •High-stress load •Common occurrence of nonunion •The subtrochanteric region has a hard cortical bone that does not heal very well. Treatment: •Intramedullary nail •Compression hip screw: not commonly used, higher chance of nonunion. •You may want to do this case closed in order to preserve the blood supply and the healing ability of the fracture.
