    Summary

    The Leinbach prosthesis effectively treats elderly patients with comminuted intertrochanteric fractures, restoring function quickly and allowing immediate weight-bearing. This approach reduces hospital stays and complication rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Geriatric Trauma

    Background:

    • Intertrochanteric fractures are common in the elderly.
    • Comminuted fractures present unique treatment challenges.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of the Leinbach prosthesis for Type III and IV comminuted intertrochanteric fractures.
    • To assess functional recovery and complication rates in elderly patients.

    Main Methods:

    • A series of 105 patients with comminuted intertrochanteric fractures were treated.
    • Leinbach prosthesis insertion was performed.
    • Patients were followed for an average of 8.1 months.

    Main Results:

    • The Leinbach prosthesis facilitated rapid functional restoration.

  • Unrestricted weight-bearing was possible almost immediately post-surgery.
  • Complication rates for secondary operations, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism, decubiti, and pneumonia were low.

    • Conclusions:

    • Leinbach prosthesis is recommended for elderly patients with comminuted intertrochanteric fractures.
    • The procedure leads to shortened hospital stays and favorable outcomes.
