Study on Surgical Outcome of Intertrochantric Fracture Treated With Traffon Nail

Abstract Purpose: To review outcomes of 40 patients who underwent TRAFFON nailing for stable and unstable Intertrochanteric fractures. Methods: This study included 40 patients with fresh Intertrochanteric fractures who were admitted to BGS Global Institute of Medical Sciences, Bangalore, from November 2022 to November 2024.Records of 22 Men and 18 Women, who underwent TRAFFON nailing for Intertrochanteric fracture were reviewed. Results: 40 patients achieved anatomic reduction. At the one-year follow-up, 75% of the patients had Good or excellent outcomes and 50% had returned to their pre-injury functional level. One patient had a Z-effect. One patients had shortening of <2 cm. None had fractures of the femoral shaft or trochanter or experienced nail breakage. Conclusion: The Traffon nail is a superior implant for stable and unstable Intertrochanteric fractures in terms of operating time, surgical exposure, blood loss, and complications, especially for patients with relatively small femur.
