Purpose: To evaluate the results of using minimally invasive reduction techniques in patients with femoral subtrochanteric fracture.
Materials and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 40 patients (41 cases) with subtrochanteric fracture who underwent using minimally invasive reduction techniques. The mean age was 61.4 years (15-89 years), and the mean follow-up period was 32.7 months (12-66 months). Clinical results were assessed using the Parker-Palmer mobility score and the Salvati-Wilson hip functional score. Radiographic results were evaluated using bone union time and femur neck-shaft angle.
Results: No significant difference was observed in the pre- and postoperative Parker-Palmer mobility score. Salvati Wilson hip functional score showed more than good grade in 37 cases (90%) at the last follow-up. Union was achieved in all 41 cases at an average of 22.5 weeks (18-30 weeks). The mean femoral neck-shaft angle immediately postoperatively was 128.8 degrees (120-140 degrees), and the mean difference versus contralateral sides was 2.5 degrees varus (－6-13 degrees).
Conclusion: Fixation of femoral subtrochanteric fracture using minimally invasive reduction techniques showed excellent clinical and radiographic results and low complication rate.
