Cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty compared with proximal femoral nail anti-rotation of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in senile patients with osteoporosis: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implant design for the correction of osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients is a controversial issue. Our study aims to compare the efficacy of PFNA and cementless bipolar hemiarthroplasty (CBH) in treating osteoporotic unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.

Methods

We retrospectively assessed 70 elderly patients, aged > 70 years old, with intertrochanteric fractures (AO/OTA 31-A2 fractures) from 2014 to 2019. Among them, 34 patients received PFNA and 36 patients received CBH, accompanied with 2-year follow-ups. Additionally, the efficacy difference between the two implants was compared.

Results

Both groups had similar general variables like age, gender, fracture site, degree of osteoporosis, fracture classificat
