The factors which condition such failures can be divided into “modifiable” and “non-modifiable”. The first include bone mineral density and fracture type, whilst the latter are those known as “surgeon-dependent” (Baumgaertner tip-apex distance, position of the blade, fracture reduction and choice of implant). It is on the latter that we can primarily act in order to improve the final results of osteosynthesis.</p><p id="par0155" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The development and improvement of new osteosynthesis systems, as well as a meticulous surgical technique, have reduced the rate of surgeon-dependent mechanical complications.</p><p id="par0160" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The results of our study are consistent with those obtained by other working groups which observe a reduction in the incidence of mechanical complications among those cases in which the blade was located in the center of the femoral head and neck.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,14</span></a> The percentage of patients in the sample with a suboptimal tip-apex distance has been reduced, which may have had an influence on reducing the significant variability in terms of the relationship between this distance and the incidence of complications. Other studies have found similar results regarding the tip-apex distance. The series of Herman et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> reported a tip-apex distance of 20.3<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm (SD: 6.5) in the group of patients without mechanical complications and 24.0<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm (SD: 6.5) in the group of patients with <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">cut out</span> (<span class="elsevierStyleItalic">P</span><span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>=<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>.175). This could raise the point that the position of the blade in the Cleveland and Bosworth quadrants may be of greater importance than the Baumgaertner tip-apex distance. There are very few research works with nail systems using a helical blade, since the original study showed the results in patients treated with screw-sliding plate systems. The first study to assess the tip-apex distance with nailing was conducted by Geller et al.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0105"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">21</span></a> with results similar to those of Baumgaertner. Other studies have also been conducted which evaluated measurement using the PACS<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0110"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">22</span></a> fluoroscopy system during the surgical intervention, allowing placement and correction during surgery until a suitable subchondral position was achieved. In our previous series of 700 patients treated with other types of nails, the mean value of this parameter was 21<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm (range: 9–37<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm).</p><p id="par0165" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We did not carry out a radiographic evaluation of the degree of osteoporosis according to the method of Singh because there is controversy regarding the results of published studies, which associate the Singh trabecular pattern with mechanical complications.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0070"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14,23</span></a> In addition, there is considerable intra- and interobserver variability in the classification of the Singh pattern,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">24</span></a> making this parameter scarcely reliable in establishing whether osteoporosis is a determining factor in the results. There are new studies which attempt to relate the diameter of the medial cortex and the degree of bone fragility, which may become determinant in the future to establish whether or not there is a frank association between osteoporosis and mechanical complications.</p><p id="par0170" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Mortality data during the first year of follow-up reflected a survival of 84.4% versus the expected figure of 75% according to other studies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> This improvement could be the result of a precise coordination between the Departments of Traumatology, Anesthesia and Geriatrics, enabling ongoing medical care, surgical intervention and early ambulation, as well as prevention and treatment of complications arising during hospital stay.</p><p id="par0175" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the analysis of complications we found 4 cases of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">cut out</span> related to fractures with a single basicervical stroke, which led us to consider alternative causal mechanisms other than the position of the helical blade. One possible explanation lies in cephalic rotation,<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0125"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">25–27</span></a> conditioned by the absence of muscle insertions which stabilize the fracture line, and cause the head to rotate on the nail, both during insertion of the helical blade and during ambulation. Some new theories suggest that the torsional forces exerted on the blade during ambulation cycles may cause the trabeculae surrounding the implant to rupture, with a subsequent rotation of the femoral head on the blade, causing a “shear” movement on the surrounding bone and initiating a progressive osteolysis during ambulation cycles (“windshield effect”) which will eventually lead to the development of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">cut out</span>.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">28</span></a> In order to prevent this cascade of events, we are currently employing new technical variants, including the use of anti-rotation screws or cementing through the blade, in certain types of fractures with rotational instability, which could further reduce the rates of mechanical complications. The results have yet to be analyzed.</p><p id="par0180" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In our opinion, the first case of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">cut out</span> could be attributed to an error in the surgical technique since, after inserting the helical blade and conducting the relevant checks with the image intensifier, the surgeon realized that the blade had been introduced too close to the articular cartilage, and conducted a partial extraction and subsequent reintroduction in a position farther from the cartilage. This extraction and subsequent reintroduction of the blade could have caused trabecular impaction, initially beneficial to promote anchoring of the blade, to be lost during reintroduction of the blade through the same channel. This would allow the rotation of the femoral head during ambulation cycles due to the rupture of the trabeculae around the blade. We suggest that cases such as this may be susceptible to cementing through the helical blade or to addition of a cannulated screw in order to block these torsional forces.</p><p id="par0185" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">As expected, group 31-A3 fractures led to a notable number of delayed consolidations and nonunions compared with other types of fractures (31-A1 and 31-A2), attributable in part to a poor quality of reduction, with gaps greater than 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm in the point of fracture, and to the high instability thereof, caused by the absence of the lateral wall, which should act as a buttress for blade sliding.</p><p id="par0190" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">At present, in our center we perform surgical treatment of all these fractures by the intramedullary, proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA) system. We choose this system because of its improved mechanical properties and lesser inflection compared to the screw-sliding plate system, due to its more medial position. Nailing has shown better results than the screw-plate system for unstable pertrochanteric fractures of the femur.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2,29</span></a> When comparing with our historical series (based on TFN and gamma 3 nailing), we have observed a decrease in the incidence of these complications, although follow-up periods were shorter. This lower incidence of complications may be due to the fact that the helical blade provided angular and rotational stability by compacting the spongy tissue as it was inserted, thus giving it greater anchoring capacity and allowing sliding, once blocked, which favored fracture point compression.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0150"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">30,31</span></a></p><p id="par0195" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The strength of the study was, firstly, that the intervention was performed by the same senior surgeon, thus preventing the results from being influenced by technical implementation by different surgeons. Secondly, the scarce losses during follow-up, both due to mortality and to absence from consultation, did not substantially affect the variable being studied. Thirdly, monitoring was always longer than 6 months for all cases studied, thus ruling out belated, undocumented complications, since almost all appeared within that time interval. Lastly, we did not only evaluate the primary, qualitative, dichotomous variable of presence or absence of “complications”, but also secondary variables, like the “functionality” of patients.</p><p id="par0200" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The limitations of this study include it being a retrospective study, thus making it impossible to assess certain variables not routinely collected in the evolution forms.
