Abstract:
Objective To compare the efficacy and complications among three surgical treatments of femoral intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients.Methods Totally 209 elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were divided into 3 groups:DHS group[n =115,patients treated with dynamic hip screws (DHS)],PFNA group [n=57,patients treated with proximal femoral nails anti-rotation (PFNA)] and SEFT group [n=37,patients treated with singlearm external fixator technique (SEFT)].The length of hospitalization,operative time,bleeding volume,hip function scores and complications were compared among the three groups.Results All patients were followed up for 5-12 months (10.6 months in average).The length of hospitalization,operative time,bleeding volume,weight-bearing time and Harris hip score in postoperative 3 months were (14.3±2.7) d,(102.4±22.7) min,(240.8±38.4) ml,(50.2±7.7) d,(88.7±12.8) min in DHS group,(11.2±3.4) d,(50.3±15.6) min,(80.5±18.7) ml,(22.6±4.8) d,(92.6±15.4)min in PFNA group,(15.1±3.3) d,(35.8±10.9) min,(52.6±12.9) ml,(55.4±10.1) d,(87.3 ± 12.6) min in SEFT group,respectively.There were significant differences in the length of hospitalization,operative time,bleeding volume,weight-bearing time and Harris hip score in postoperative 3 months among the three groups (all P ＜ 0.05),while there was no significant difference in healing time among the three groups (all P＞0.05).The incidence of complications was highest in DHS group,higher in SEFT group,and lowest in PFNA group (all P＜0.05).Conclusions DHS is more suitable for patients with good physical condition and stable fractures.SEFT is suitable for patients with poor condition,who can not tolerate trauma,anesthesia and bleeding.PFNA has more advantages including stable fixation,less invasive,less complications and wide indications,which is more suitable for femoral intertrochanteric fractures than the other two treatments.
