| Purpose The most common type of failure in treating intertrochanteric fractures with proximal femoral nails is cut-out due to varus collapse. We aim to evaluate the effect of the poller screw applied to the proximal fragment and the lag screw on varus collapse and stability in intertrochanteric fractures. Methods An unstable intertrochanteric fracture model without medial support was simulated in 20 synthetic femur models. In the poller screw group, in addition to the lag screw, pole screws were applied to the proximal fragment superior and inferior to the lag screw. In the progressive cyclic loading test, starting from 100 N, the loading was increased by 50 N in each cycle, and the test was continued until the maximum load at which failure occurred as a result of conditioning cycles and progressive cyclic loading tests, stiffness, type of failure, force at failure, lag screw displacement, and varus collapse were recorded. Result The average stiffness was found to be 124.705 N/mm in the poller screw group and 102.77 N/mm in the control group (P < 0.001). The maximum load to failure was 1897.10 N in the poller screw group and 1475.20 N in the control group (P < 0.001). The average displacement of the lag screw within the femoral head was 0.85 mm in the poller screw group and 3.60 mm in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusion As a result, it has been shown that poller screws applied around the lag screw increase fixation stiffness and reduce varus collapse. |
