Minimally invasive treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur

  With the increase of aging population and high-energy injuries, the incidence of intertrochanteric fractures of the femur is on the rise significantly. Traditional traction therapy is difficult to obtain stable and reliable fixation, and the hip inversion and mortality caused by long-term bed rest in elderly patients are high; external brace fixation can achieve good repositioning and secure fixation, but the knee stiffness caused by postoperative pain and the difficulty of care affect its popular application.  Therefore, if the patient’s systemic condition permits, a firm internal fixation, especially a minimally invasive internal fixation, is undoubtedly more acceptable to doctors and patients to reduce surgical trauma, reduce nursing difficulty, and improve patients’ quality of life. We combine modern medical concepts with traditional Chinese medicine to create minimally invasive intertrochanteric treatment of the femur, which has been clinically proven to be effective, reliable and well-received by patients.  (1)Applying the techniques of Luoyang Pingle Orthopaedic Tui, probing, pair of squeezing and pressing, rotation and flexion and extension, rocking and pushing the top to the operation of minimally invasive intramedullary nail fixation for intertrochanteric fracture, modern technology is combined with traditional medical technology.  (2) Good posture, no need to move the patient, satisfactory surgical access, repositioning operation and intraoperative fluoroscopy (3) Invasive operation, no need to expose the fracture end, less bleeding, high safety, and conducive to fracture healing.
