The clinical efficacy and safety of double reverse traction repositor and traction table in the reduction of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients: a retrospective comparative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Currently, we found that double reverse traction repositor (DRTR) is a treatment with operation convenience and fast in our clinical work. However, the clinical efficacy and safety of DRTR in the reduction of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients remain unknown. Therefore, the study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of DRTR and traction table (TT) in the reduction of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.

Methods

From October 2018 to December 2020, the elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were reviewed. 22 patients treated with TT and 20 patients treated with DRTR met the inclusion criteria of this study, and baseline clinical characteristics were recorded. The reduction time, operation ti
