Outcome analysis of coxo-femoral bypass for intertrochanteric fracture femur in elderly patients

Abstract

In this study, we have tried to find and analyse the outcome of coxofemoral bypasss in intertrochanteric fractures which were operated at a tertiary care hospital in Bhopal, M.P., India and completed the follow up till 12 months. These patients were analysed on various intra-operative and post-operative parameters. Functional assessment was done using Harris Hip Score. Harris Hip Score showed that 04(20%) patients had excellent results, 08 (40%) patient had good results, 04(20%) patients had fair and 02(10%) had poor results. Poor results were seen in patients with multiple co-morbidities. This study indicates that coxofemoral bypass for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients has shown to achieve early rehabilitation and good long-term results.
