CT-measurement predicts shortening of stable intertrochanteric hip fractures

Abstract

Measuring the CTP is predictive of post-operative shortening after fixation of an IT fracture with a SHS. CMN fixation may be protective of shortening. Patients with a CTP of ≤9 mm are at risk for fracture site shortening of more than 15 mm when treated with a SHS.

The Effect of Humanized Nursing Intervention Guided by Computed Tomography Images on Elderly Patients Undergoing Anesthesia for Femur Intertrochanteric Fractures under Intelligent Reconstruction Algorithm

“…If FIF is treated nonsurgically, it has many complications, and it is prone to complications such as pressure ulcers, lung infections, urinary tract infections, and deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities, which can easily endanger the lives of patients [ 6 ]. Therefore, if the patient has no obvious surgical contraindications, for FIF, surgical treatment is recommended to stabilize the fracture end, shorten the patient's bedtime, and reduce the complications of the patient's bed [ 7 , 8 ]. For patients undergoing surgical treatment, early rehabilitation training and functional exercise are required after surgery, which is beneficial to the rehabilitation of the function of the affected limb after fracture [ 9 ].…”
