Purpose

To assess the results of the PCCP (percutaneous compression plate) in the treatment of stable intertrochanteric fractures.

Materials and methods

Prospective study of 42 patients with a stable intertrochanteric fracture, classified according to the AO/OTA scale, implanted between 2003 and 2005 with a PCCP percutaneous compression plate. There were 12 males and 30 females, with a mean age of 82.3 years. Prior to the fracture, 19 patients were independent walkers, 16 required a walking-stick and 7 required a walking frame or someone's assistance.

Results

Mean OR time was 87 minutes. Fifteen patients required a blood transfusion with a mean of 0.60 concentrates per patient and a mean analgesic consumption period of 3.5 days. Mean hospital stay was 16.9 days. Postoperatively, 73% could ambulate independently. There were five deaths in the first year post-op. No surgical complications were recorded. Radiologically, there were no mechanical complications or material-related failures.

Conclusions

The PCCP percutaneous compression plate comes across as a valid and effective system for the treatment of stable intertrochanteric fractures.

Key words:
hip fracture
intertrochanteric fracture
percutaneous compression plate
Objetivo

Estudiar los resultados de la placa de compresión percutánea (PCCP) en el tratamiento de las fracturas trocantéreas estables.

Material y método

Estudio prospectivo de 42 pacientes con fractura trocantérea estable, según la clasificación de la AO/OTA, intervenidos entre 2003 y 2005 con placa de compresión percutánea (PCCP, percutaneous compression plate). Fueron 12 varones y 30 mujeres, con una edad media de 82,3 años. Previo a la fractura, 19 pacientes presentaban una deambulación independiente, 16 deambulaban con bastones y 7 precisaban la ayuda de un andador o tercera persona.

Resultados

El tiempo quirúrgico medio fue de 87 minutos, 15 pacientes precisaron transfusión sanguínea con una media de 0,60 concentrados por paciente, y tuvieron un consumo medio de analgésicos de 3,5 días. La estancia media fue de 16,9 días. Posoperatoriamente el 73% tenían deambulación por sí mismos. Hubo 5 éxitus en el primer año posoperatorio. No hubo complicaciones quirúrgicas. Radiológicamente no hubo complicaciones mecánicas ni fracasos del material.

Conclusiones

El sistema de placa de compresión percutánea PCCP nos parece válido y eficaz en el tratamiento de las fracturas trocantéreas estables.
