BACKGROUND: Intramedullary Ender nailing in intertrochanteric fractures was very popular in the past. However, this method has fallen in favor over time, due to complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate results with this method and possible ways to prevent these complications, including the use of unilateral fixators to support the Ender nails.
METHODS: This technique (Ender nailing and external fixator) was used in 39 patients (17 M/22 F, mean age: 71.4 years). The preoperative mean American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score was 1.84 (range: 1-4) for all the patients. AO/OTA classification of fractures was used. In our surgery, we used an external fixator to support the intramedullary nails. All patients were evaluated with Parker-Palmer mobility score and with the Harris hip score.
RESULTS: The follow-up period was 29.2 months (20-56). Two patients experienced nail migration in the knees, two patients had varus deformation with a reduction in length of 2 cm, and seven patients developed pin-track infection. The average Harris score and Parker-Palmer score of the 14 patients who presented for their last follow-up examination were 64 and 6.8, respectively.
CONCLUSION: This method demonstrated several advantages, in that it allows the patient to put weight on the extremity after a shorter period of time and enables the fracture to heal rapidly without any serious complications.
