Abstract: Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of anatomic plate (AP)and locking compression plate(LCP) in treatment of fermoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients. Methods Nineteen and three patients with fermoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with anatomic plate (AP) and locking compression plate (LCP). The therapeutic effects were compared in the study. Results All operations were done successfully. Of all cases,72 patients were followed up for 5-24 months. Excellence rate: AP was 66. 7% and LCP was 88. 2%.Conclusions AP had significantly low excellence rate with more complications when compared with LCP. LCP could be the first choice in treatment of fermoral intertrochanteric fractures with high excellence rates and few complications.
