Overview

Retrospective review assesses reduction methods and implant choices in subtrochanteric fractures, indicating surgical impact on recovery outcomes.

Key Points

  • Closed reductions led to shorter surgery durations and lower blood loss compared to open reductions, showing operational efficiency benefits.
  • Radiographically, closed reductions exhibited increased maximal cortical displacement, suggesting possible differences in stability post-surgery.
  • IMN fixation associated with higher BMI in patients, demonstrating a potential trend in surgical considerations for obesity.
  • No significant disparities noted in pain, ambulation, or revision rates across implant types or reduction methods, indicating consistent outcomes.
