Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Dynamic hip screws have developed in recent years, and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation modified by the Association for the Study of Internal Fixation has been widely applied in clinics. Their efficacy has been well recognized.
OBJECTIVE: To analyze and compare the complications of proximal femur intramedullary nail and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation treatments in elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture.
METHODS: Seventy elderly patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture were selected from the People’s Hospital of Yucheng City between June 2012 and June 2014. Patients were randomly divided into two groups: control group and experimental group, with 35 cases in each group. Control group was given proximal femur intramedullary nail treatment, while experimental group was given the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation treatment. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, fracture healing time, postoperative complications and 
hip Harris score were compared in two groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The operation time in the experimental group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (t=2.88, P < 0.05). The postoperative complication rate was 26% in control group and 9% in experimental group, with significant differences in the two groups (χ2 = 4.77, P < 0.05). Both proximal femur intramedullary nail and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation have few trauma and strong fixation for the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures, and proximal femoral nail anti-rotation has a shorter operation time and reduces postoperative complications.
