Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The unstable intertrochanteric fractures are common in the elderly patients. Artificial femoral head replacement is a common treatment method, and different ways can be selected for reconstruction.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the clinical effect of femoral head replacement combined with clover titanium plate fixation for unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the elderly.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed in 64 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric bone in the Jiangyou 903 Hospital from December 2011 to December 2012. They were given femoral head replacement treatment, and were divided into control group (32 cases) and experimental group (32 cases) according to reconstruction method. They received steel wire tension band and reconstruction and clover titanium plate fixation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: There were no significant differences in operation time and bleeding volume in operation process, postoperative recovery time of joint activities, time of out-of-bed activity, and bone callus formation time between the two groups (P > 0.05). However, compared with the control group, therapeutic effect was better and the incidence of complications was low in the experimental group (P < 0.05). These data suggest that femoral head replacement combined with the implementation of clover titanium plate fixation treatment can obtain good results for treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients.
