Abstract:
Objective To compare the clinical effects of 3i nternal fixation devices,130?comp res-sion-plate,Richards screw-plate system and Gamma locking nail,in tre atment of intertrochanteric fractu res of femur in order to provide evidence fo r clinical choice.Methods The 3different internal fixation devices were statistically compared in terms of t heir surgery time,volume of operative bleeding,hospitalization time,postop-erative complications,as well as excellent and good rate of function in t reatment of intertrochanteric frac tures of femur.Results Compared with the other two treatmen t groups,the Gamma locking nail grou p presented the best therapeutic effects.Its posto perative complications were significantly lower and its excellent and f ine rate of function was significantly higher t han those of the other two groups.Conclusion Gamma locking nails are a kind of effective internal fixation device for the treatment of intertro chanteric fractures in elderly patients,because it has better biomechanical properties which facilitate fracture healing and recovery of hip joint function.[
