Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of percutaneous compression plating system in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of the elderly patients.Methods The clinical data of 18 elderly patients(aged 68-89 years)with intertrochanteric fractures were retrospectively analyzed.According to Evans classification,there were seven patients with type Ⅰ fractures,nine with type Ⅱ fractures and two with type Ⅲa fractures.Percutaneous compression plating system was applied to all patients from June 2007 to June 2009,and the therapeutic effect was evaluated by Harris hip function evaluation criteria.Results All the fractures were healed,with excellent results in 15 patients and good results in the rest three patients.Conclusions The percutaneous compression plating system is easy to manipulate with minimal invasion,has minor side effect and is beneficial to reducing surgical complications in the elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
