Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Senile intertrochanteric fracture is characterized as aging, instability, more complications and high mortality, so choosing an appropriate internal fixation method is critical.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the curative efficacy of proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and locking proximal femoral plate for senile osteoporotic patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
METHODS: Sixty elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were enrolled, and the clinical data were collected. They were randomized into treatment and control groups (n=30 per group), and subjected to internal fixation using proximal femoral nail anti-rotation and locking proximal femoral plate, respectively. The operative indexes, functional recovery and complications were observed in the two groups
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The incision length, operation time, intraoperative blood loss and time of weight bearing in the treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group (P < 0.01). (2) Harris hip scores in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). (3) The incidence of complications in the treatment group was obviously lower than that in the control group. (4) To conclude, the proximal femoral nail anti-rotation exhibits satisfactory treatment outcomes in the internal fixation of unstable intertrochanteric fractures.
