Abstract:[Objective] To evaluate the clinical efficiency of a novel traction table used in closed reduction and intramedullary nailingof femoral intertrochanteric fractures. [Methods] From December 2019 to April 2022, a total of 72 patients who admitted to our hospital forfemoral intertrochanteric fractures were randomly divided into two groups. Of them, 36 patients received operation under the novel tractiontable (the novel group), while other 36 patients were under the traditional fracture table (the traditional group). The perioperative, follow-upand imaging documents were compared between the two groups. [Results] The novel group proved significantly superior to the traditionalgroup in terms of positioning time [(5.9±1.5) min vs (13.6±3.3) min, P<0.001] and anesthesia time [(101.5±13.2) min vs (137.3±18.7) min,P<0.001], intraoperative fluoroscopy times [(34.1±4.1) times vs (38.2±5.5) times, P<0.001], despite of no statistically significant differencesin closed reduction time, operation time, total incision length, intraoperative blood loss, incision healing grade, hospital stay, and time to re-gain full weight-bearing time between the two groups (P>0.05). The VAS score, Harris score, hip extension-flexion range of motion (ROM),and hip internal-external rotation ROM were significantly improved in both groups at the latest follow-up compared with those 3 monthspostoperatively (P<0.05), whereas which were not statistically significant between the two groups at any corresponding time points (P>0.05).With respect to imaging, there were no statistically significant differences in fracture reduction quality and fracture healing time betweenthe two groups (P>0.05). At last follow-up, femoral neck-shaft angle (FNSA) decreased significantly in both groups (P<0.05), while tipapexdistance (TAD) remained unchanged (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in FNSA and TAD between the two groups at anycorresponding time points (P>0.05). [Conclusion] This new traction table can effectively reduce the time of position placement and times offluoroscopy, and does not increase the operation time and closed reduction time, reduce the anesthesia time, and improve the efficiency ofsurgery.
