Abstract

Objective

This study sought to evaluate the long-term osteosynthesis results for AO/OTA 31.A1–A2 pertrochanteric fractures treated with the percutaneous compression plate (PCCP).

Materials and methods

This investigation was a retrospective observational descriptive study of 335 patients, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years and a maximum follow-up of 8 years (2004–2011).

Results

The average post-operative hospital stay was 6.2 days, and the average decrease in haemoglobin levels after the intervention was 2.7 mg/dL, with transfusion required for one-third of the patients. Complications related to the implant were observed in 4.2 % of patients; the most notable complication was cut-out (2.4 % of patients), and 3 cases involved pseudarthrosis with breakage of the implant (0.9 % of patients).

Conclusions

From the results obtained in this study and an analysis of previously published work, we believe that the PCCP may be the implant of choice for AO/OTA 31.A1–A2 fractures.
