Abstract:
[Objective]To analyze the clinical effect of the unstable pertrochanteric femoral fracture treated with anatomical plate.[Method]To prospectively compare anatomical plate with dynamic hip screw(DHS) in terms of treatment of the unstable pertrochanteric femoral fracture in elderly.Fifty-eight elderly patients with unstable pertrochanteric femoral fracture who were treated from June 2003 to May 2007 and followed up for 9-24 months were randomized into two treatment groups,ie,anatomical plate internal fixation(group I) and dynamic hip screw internal fixation(group II).Of all,32 patients were treated with anatomical plate internal fixation and 26 with DHS internal fixation.The treatment groups were comparable with regard to all demographic and injury variables.[Result]Patients treated with anatomical plate internal fixation had shorter operative times,fewer blood loss and blood transfusion,and higher Harris scores,there were significant differences in the two groups.The incidence rate of early postoperative complication was 9.38% in group I and 11.54% in group Ⅱ.The incidence rate of late postoperative complication was 9.38% in group Ⅰ and 30.78% in group Ⅱ.There were significant differences in late postoperative complication and no significant differences in early postoperative complication between the two groups.[Conclusion]The unstable pertrochanteric femoral fracture treated with anatomical plate could achieve excellent clinical results.
