Rotational changes and associated risk factors following intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric femoral fractures in elderly patients by Chao Han, Xiaodan Li, Zhe Han, Qiang Dong

“…At the 1-year follow-up, patients with smaller rotational displacement demonstrated better functional recovery. The multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that several factors showed significant correlations with rotational displacement of fracture fragments after intramedullary nail fixation, including the severity of medial cortical defects, presence of medial cortical disruption, T-scores ≤ −2.5, low-grade Singh's index classifications (I–III), diminished lateral wall thickness, inadequate TAD, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and the Harris Hip Score (HHS).ConclusionBone rotation and displacement are frequently observed following intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fractures. …”
