Abstract: Objective To compare the curative effects of intertrochantefie fractures in aged by two operative methods. Methods 85 cases of elderly patients suffered from intertrechanteric fractures were retrospectively ana-lyzed. Out of the 85 cases,45 cases were treated with dynamic hip screw(DHS) and 40 cases were fixed with Gamma nails. The curative effects and complications were compared simultaneously. Results The total excellent rate was 83.5% in 85 patients,the rates of DHS and Gamma nails group were 77. 8% and 90% (X2 = 2. 84, P 0. 05), re-spectively. The operative time (66. 4 ± 19. 4)min in DHS group were less than the Gamma nail group (875 ± 25.5) rain (t=2. 451 ,P < 0. 05), but the length of surgical incision (19. 6± 5. 1)cm greater than the Gamma nail group (10. 3 ± 4. 7) cm(t = 2. 501, P < 0. 05). The complications of DHS group (11.1%) were significanfly higher than that of Gamma nail group(2. 5%) (X2 =3.94,P<0. 05). Conclusion As long as the physical condition can toler-ate,surgery recommend the use of DHS and Gamma nail surgical techniques in aged patients with intertrechanteric fractures.
