BACKGROUND:Hip arthroplasty is an effective means currently in repair of femoral neck fractures. With the increased in the amount of surgery, surgery failure rate also has increased. In particular, prosthesis loosening and fracture are very common after replacement.Qiangguyin can promote the formation of osteoblasts, resist osteoporosis, inhibit osteoclast activity, and increase bone density. Drynaria invigorates the kidney, strengthens the bone and tendon and relieves pain, and has bidirectional regulatory effects on promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate effects ofQiangguyin on periprosthetic bone density in patients with femoral neck fracture after hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:96 patients with femoral neck fracture were equaly divided into observation group and control group based on the random number table. Both groups were given selective joint replacement. Patients were implanted with femoral head made by US Stryker Corporation, and fixed with bone cement. After replacement, patients in the control group were treated with calcium D3 tablets and capsules alfacalcidol. On this basis, the treatment group was given theQiangguyin oral drug intervention for a month. Bone density surrounding the prosthesis was observed in both groups. Alkaline phosphatase and tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activities were detected. Repair effects were compared.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The surgery was successfuly completed in al patients. No infection or loosening of the prosthesis occurred. Ambulation time and healing time were significantly less in the observation group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in bone density surrounding the prosthesis was detected between the two groups before medication, and an obvious increased trend was found after medication (P < 0.05). Bone density was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group after medication (P < 0.05). Serum alkaline phosphatase activity was significantly higher in the two groups after medication, but tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activity was significantly decreased, which showed significant differences as compared with that before medication (P < 0.05). Simultaneously, significant differences in serum alkaline phosphatase activity and tartrate-resistant hydrochloric acid phosphatase activity were detected between the observation and control groups after medication (P < 0.05). At 6 months after replacement, the excelent and good rate of joint function was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group (94%, 79%,P < 0.05). These results indicate that Qiangguyin could resist bone resorption and suppress excessive bone turnover, improve bone density around the prosthesis, and restore joint function after hip arthroplasty.
