Application of a self-developed femoral artery compression hemostasis device in proximal femoral nail anti-rotation surgery for intertrochanteric fractures: a case report
Clinical Scorecard: Utilization of a Novel Hemostasis Device for Femoral Artery Compression in Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-Rotation Surgery for Intertrochanteric Fractures: A Case Study
At a Glance
Category
Detail
Condition
Intertrochanteric fractures of the femur
Key Mechanisms
Mechanical femoral artery compression to control blood flow
Target Population
Elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures
Care Setting
Surgical intervention in orthopedic settings
Key Highlights
Use of a proprietary compression-type femoral artery hemostasis device
Estimated intraoperative visible blood loss of 50 mL
Total perioperative blood loss calculated at 433 mL
No postoperative complications observed
Satisfactory callus formation noted at 6-week follow-up
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
Intertrochanteric fractures diagnosed through clinical examination and imaging
Management
Surgical reduction and internal fixation using proximal femoral nail anti-rotation (PFNA)
Monitoring & Follow-up
Postoperative follow-up for complications and healing assessment
Risks
Potential for excessive intraoperative bleeding and postoperative occult blood loss
Patient & Prescribing Data
Elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures, particularly those with contraindications to TXA
Mechanical compression may serve as a non-pharmacological alternative for hemostasis
Clinical Best Practices
Utilize mechanical hemostatic strategies in patients with contraindications to pharmacological agents
Monitor collateral circulation during femoral artery compression
