Abstract |
Introduction |
Fast-track treatment of pertrochanteric fracture is being developed in traumatology. The present study hypothesis was that fast-track treatment of pertrochanteric fracture does not jeopardize patient autonomy.
Material and method |
A single-center prospective comparative observational study, conducted from 2014 to 2016 in the University Hospital of Angers, France, included patients presenting with isolated A1 or A2 pertrochanteric fracture on the AO classification, managed by intramedullary nailing and requiring transfer to Post-acute Recovery (PAR). The fast-track exposure group were transferred directly on postoperative day 1, while the non-exposure group received postoperative care in the surgery department before transfer to PAR. The main endpoint was difference in Parker score between admission and discharge. Secondary endpoints comprised type of walking aid at discharge and destination of discharge from PAR.
Results |
109 patients were initially included, with 54 patients (27 pairs) after matching. There was a significant difference in reduction in Parker score in favor of fast-track: −1.27 (95% CI: −2.27; −0.32) (p=0.012). There were no differences in amount or type of aid at discharge or discharge destination, although there was a trend toward greater discharge to the initial place of residence with fast-track.
Discussion |
Orthopedics is heading to the fast-track. Previous studies reported shorter hospital stay, comparable survival and complications rates, and significant cost-saving. The present study addressed progression: fast-track patients showed significantly less loss of walking autonomy.
Conclusion |
Fast-track management of pertrochanteric fracture significantly reduced loss of walking autonomy, without significant impact on discharge destination or walking aids.
Level of evidence |
IIB, exposure/non-exposure cohort.
