Abstract:

BACKGROUND: There are many reports about the intramedullary fixation represented by proximal femoral nail and proximal femoral nail antirotation, but the comparison between these two fixation methods is rare.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical effect of percutaneous compression plate system (PCCP) and reverse less invasive stabilization systems (LISS) on intertrochanteric hip fractures.
METHODS: Thirty-six patients with intertrochanteric hip fractures were treated with PCCP (n=21) and LISS (n=15), with age of 65 to 91 years old and followed up after surgery. Complications and hip function (Harris score) were observed and assessed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All cases were followed up for 6 months. The Harris hip function: the excellent and good rate was 87% in the group PCCP and 87% in the group LISS. None of the 17 cases suffered from the complications such as fractures or looses of the screw and plates,deep vein thrombosis and coax vara. The incidence rate was very low. The PCCP and LISS for intertrochanteric hip fractures ISan ideal internal fixation in clinic because of less blood loss, minimal invasion and better recovery of the hip functions, especially for elder patients who are not suitable for intramedullary fixation.
