Abstract
Background: The prevalence of intertrochanteric hip fractures is approximately 30%. The usual management of hip fractures is performed by dynamic hip screw (DHS) or central medullary nailing (CMN). The COVID-19 pandemic has changed medical treatment guidelines in all specialties around the world.
Objective: To recognize the prevalence and management of unstable trochanteric hip fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: An observational study was conducted in a third-level care hospital in patients with fractures of type AOOTA 31A2.1 and A2.2 managed with CMN or DHS. The management trends by orthopedic surgeons were analyzed.
Results: The prevalence during 2019 was 38%, in 2020 it was 21.3% and in 2021 it was 32.6%. The male-to-female ratio found was 1:1.7. The age was 66.48 ± 21.6 years (range: 17-92). Of orthopedic surgeons surveyed, 80.4% preferred CMN.
Conclusions: The prevalence decreased during 2020. The treatment trend during the pandemic was higher for the DHS system; the use of CMN decreased by 86%. The treatment of intertrochanteric hip fractures was influenced due to the COVID-19 pandemic towards a cheaper method.
