Abstract:
Objective To compare the proximal femoral locking plate (LPFP) and proximal femoral intramedullary nail-spiral blade (PFNA) in minimally invasive internal fixation for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods One hundred and thirty patients aged over 60 years with intertrochanteric fractures were treated with minimally invasive internal fixation from January 2010 to June 2013,among them LPFP was applied in 69 cases and PFNA in 61 cases.The operation time,the numbers of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative flow and decreased postoperative hemoglobin,postoperative complications,medical expenses,fracture healing time,postoperative hip Hariss function score were documented and compared between two groups.Results There were no significant differences in intraoperative blood loss [(132 ± 95) and (110 ± 79) ml],postoperative draining [(44 ± 16) and (41 ± 17) ml],decreased postoperative hemoglobin,fracture healing time [(10.5 ± 1.0) and (10.4 ± 1.5) weeks] and postoperative hip Hariss function score (87 ± 10 and 90 ± 8) between two groups.In LPFP group the number of intraoperative X-ray fluoroscopy (8.1 ±0.8 and 8.6 ± 0.9),hospitalization expenses,postoperative complications (7/69 and 16/61) were less than those in PFNA group (P＜0.05 or 0.01),however,the operation time was longer (P＜0.01).Conclusion LPFP may be a better choice in internal fixation for elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.
