Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction To study the role of proximal trochanteric contoured plate in management of complex proximal femur end fracturesMaterials and Methods A total of 30 cases 11 male and 19 female patients aged 19 to 90 years Mean age 42 were included Time duration of surgery total amount of blood loss hospital stay mobilization and weight bearing radiological assessment of union complications and Harris Hip score were assessed at the end of 6 monthsResults Mean duration of surgery was 7218 mins average blood loss was 28375ml average hospital stay was 1375 days Mean time for radiological union was 168 wks and Harris hip score was 846 Abductor lurch occurred in 4 casesConclusion Proximal Femoral Locking Compression Plate PFLCP provides stable fixation for fractures of proximal end of femur especially for lateral wall fracture because it provides stable fixation of lateral fragments and prevents lateral migration of proximal fragmentsKeywords Proximal femur fractures Proximal femur locking plate Harris Hip Score MESH words Proximal femur fracture Internal fixation Extramedullary devices
