Summary

Objective: compare outcomes of unstable intertrochanteric hip fractures treated with two commercially available implants. Design: retrospective observational cohort of 288 treated with a Gamma® nail and 398 with an InterTAN® nail. Patients were operated between 1997 and 2010. Primary outcomes: satisfactory reduction, optimal cephalic screw placement, and to evaluate the incidence of mechanical complications; secondary measures included the tip-apex distance (TAD), hematocrit (Hto) and hemoglobin (Hb) drop, transfusion requirement and volume, hospital length of stay and the time to first ambulation.
