- Abstract
<bold>Background: </bold>It is irresponsible if we disregard reduction quality to talk about cut-outs in intertrochanteric fractures (ITF) with internal fixation. The aim of this study is to analyze the risk-factors for cut-outs in geriatric ITF with cephalomedullary nailing after obtaining acceptable reduction.<bold>Methods: </bold>In order to investigate the risk-factors for cut-outs in geriatric ITF after obtaining acceptable reduction, we retrospectively reviewed 367 patients who underwent cephalomedullary nail for ITF in our department between September 2016 and December 2021. Potential variables including demographic data and radiological parameters (namely the fracture type, Singh index, lateral wall fracture, cephalic nail position, Parker's ratio index, tip-apex-distance (TAD), and calcar-referenced TAD (CalTAD)) were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the significant risk factors for cut-outs.<bold>Results: </bold>One hundred twenty-one patients were suitable for this study. Of the 121 cases, nine cases (7.4%) were observed with cut-out or pending cut-out. We found that Age (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.158, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.016 to 1.318, p = 0.028), lateral wall fracture (adjusted OR 11.07, 95%CI 1.790 to 68.380, p = 0.01), and CalTAD (adjusted OR 1.277, 95%CI 1.005 to 1.622, p = 0.045) were independent risk-factors for cut-outs.<bold>Conclusions: </bold>Age, lateral wall fracture and CalTAD are independent risk-factors for cut-outs in geriatric ITF with cephalomedullary nailing after obtaining acceptable reduction. In order to avoid cut-outs, an optimal CalTAD is necessary even obtaining acceptable reduction, especially in the over-aged patients with lateral wall fracture.
