Intertrochanteric fracture of femur is one of the common hip fractures in the elderly. The key of treatment are the strong fixation and early rehabilitation exercise, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications caused by bed rest and is of great importance to improve the recovery. However, the failure of traditional fracture internal fixation system is common in the treatment process.  Recently, Liu Tao, director of the Department of Trauma and Orthopedics of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, took the lead in the first use of the international initiative and leading concept of the latest PFBN intramedullary nail fixation system in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture successfully.

Case Information:

Wang, Female, 85 years old, 1 hour before the visit, she was injured in an accidental fall, presenting with pain in her right hip joint and limited movement. An axial position of the right hip joint was performed in the emergency department, and the emergency treatment was admitted to the hospital as "right intertrochanteric fracture".

Operation: closed reduction PFBN internal fixation

Postoperative: fracture reduction, good effect of internal fixator.

Intra-articular calcaneal fractures are usually treated with traditional internal fixation involving a lateral widening incision followed by the use of calcaneal locking plates after resetting. While this method allows patients to return to work as soon as possible after the operation, it has several disadvantages. These include a large trauma caused by the L-shaped incision, the risk of skin necrosis, potential damage to the peroneal nerve during the operation, significant postoperative external adhesion, and limited mobility function. To avoid these complications, clinicians have started shifting towards minimally invasive internal fixation techniques.

Minimally invasive internal fixation has proven to be effective in treating patients with intra-articular fractures of the heel bone. It involves smaller incisions, utilizes X-ray fluoroscopy-assisted resetting, facilitates surgical operations, minimizes soft tissue stripping to protect the surrounding blood supply, and provides a favorable biological environment for soft tissue repair and fracture healing. This approach significantly reduces the incidence of adverse reactions and shortens the operation time. In recent years, ankle arthroscopy has also been increasingly used for diagnosing and treating intra- or extra-articular diseases of the foot and ankle. The application of arthroscopic technology in heel bone fractures, assisted by arthroscopy, brings new hope and direction to treatment. we are orthopedic implants manufacturer,website: https://www.doublemedicalgp.com
