Concordance of surgical treatment with AO/OTA subclassification in intertrochanteric femoral fractures

Key Points

Determine how well surgical treatments align with the AO/OTA subclassification in femoral fractures.
Analysis of treatment choices based on AO/OTA subclassification
Evaluation of fracture morphology and treatment outcomes
Assessment of non-operative care for high-risk patients
PFN is the preferred surgical option across various fracture types.
Non-operative care is more suitable for patients with higher surgery risks.
Fracture morphology alone does not dictate management decisions.

Abstract

Although AO/OTA subclassification significantly influences treatment choice, fracture morphology alone is insufficient for determining management. PFN remains preferred across fracture types, while non-operative care is suitable for high-risk patients. Future models should integrate frailty, bone quality, and functional status.
