Talon Proksimal Femoral Çivileme(Pfn) Proksimal Femoral Çivi-Antirotasyon (Pfna) Kadar Başarılı Mı?

Amaç: PFN-A kullanılarak tedavi edilen hastaların fonksiyonel ve radyolojik sonuçlarını ve radyasyon maruziyetini Talon kilitli PFN ile karşılaştırdık.Yöntem: Çalışmaya 2014-2018 tarihleri arasında proksimal femur kırığı tanısı ile PFN yapılan 60 yaşından büyük 92 hasta (43 kadın,49 erkek; ort. yaş 75.01 yıl) dahil edildi. Retrospektif çalışmamızda hastalar Talon kilitli PFN grubu (grup 1, n=46) ve PFN-A grubu (grup 2, n=46) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların demografik verileri, kırık tipleri, takip süreleri, kırık kaynama zamanları, radyografik bulguları, WOMAC skorları ile C-kollu skopi çekim sayıları değerlendirmeye alındı.Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama takip süreleri 11.05 aydı. Mortalite Grup I de %4.3, Grup II de %6.5 olarak bulundu. Kollodiafizer açı Grup I de 129.5±3.4, Grup II de 126.8±3.6 (p=0.01); Singh indeksi Grup I de 4.1, Grup II de 3.62 (p=0.06); kayna-ma Grup I de 4.62±1.06, Grup II de 5.1±1.51(p=0.68) olarak gözlendi. Skopi çekim süresi Grup I de 53.08 (45-89), Grup II de 97.4 (76-150) (p<0.05) olarak gözlendi. Kırık kaynama süreleri Grup I de 4.62±1.06, Grup II de 5.1±1.51 (p=0.68), WOM-AC skorları Grup I de 69.9±4.26, Grup II de 70.2±5.75 (p=0.78) olarak tespit edildi. Grup I de 2 hastada (%4.3) komplikasyon gözlenirken, Grup II de 5 hastada (%10.8) komplikasyon gözlendi.Sonuç: Talon kilitli PFN, radyasyon maruziyetinin az olması, cerrahi sürenin daha kısa olması sebebiyle PFN sistemlerinin kolay ve güvenilir bir alternatifidir. 

Is PFN with talon locking system as successful as PFNA in geriatric hip fracture?

Aim: We compared the functional and radiological results and radiation exposure of patients treated with PFN-A and the Talon-locked PFN.Methods: The study included 92 patients (43 women, 49 men; mean age 75.01 years) who underwent PFN with the diagnosis of proximal femur fracture between 2014-2018. In our retrospective study, patients were divided into two groups: the Talon locked PFN group 1 (n= 46) and the PFN-A group 2 (n = 46). Demographic data, radiographic findings, WOMAC scores and C-arm scopy shots were evaluated.Results : The mean follow-up period was 11.05 months. Mortality was %4.3 in Group I and %6.5 in Group II. The collodiaphyseal angle was 129.5 ± 3.4 in Group I and 126.8 ± 3.6 in Group II (p = 0.01); Singh index was found to be 4.1 in Group I and 3.62 in Group II (p = 0.06); union was 4.62 ± 1.06 in Group I and 5.1 ± 1.51 in Group II (p = 0.68). The duration of fluoroscopy was 53.08 (45-89) in Group I and 97.4 (76- 150) in Group II (p <0.05). The duration of fracture union was 4.62 ± 1.06 in Group I, 5.1 ± 1.51 (p = 0.68) in Group II, 69.9 ± 4.26 in Group I and 70.2 ± 5.75 in Group II (p = 0.78).Conclusion: As a result, PFN with Talon lock is an easy and reliable alternative to PFN systems because of less radiation exposure and shorter surgical time.
