Abstract:
Objective: To observe the effects of different internal fixations on the treatment of pertrochanteric hip fractures. Methods: 158 cases of pertrochanteric hip fractures treated with different internal fixations, including anatomic steel, Gamma nail and dynamic hip screw, from January 1999 to October 2004, combined with functional exercise, were summarized and the advantages and disadvantages of different fixations were evaluated. Results: All of 158 cases were followed up for 6 to 36 months with a mean of 14 months. The rate of excellent or good in all patients was 94.61% by Harris criterion and 17 cases have surgical complications (10.18%). The complication rates of the three types of treatment had no difference. Conclusion: Anatomic steel, Gamma nail and dynamic hip screw are all ideal and reliable internal fixation material for pertrochanteric hip fractures as long as they are selected properly before operation.
