ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of femoral head replacement for the treatment of intertrochanteric frac -tures among elderly patients .Method There were 38 cases that received intertrochanteric fracture hemiarthroplasty and 35 patients were treated with open reduction and dynamic hip screw ( DHS) plate internal fixation .After follow-up, their opera-tion duration,blood loss, postoperative drainage flow , postoperative ambulation time , hospitalization time were compared according to the Harris score to assess the effect of postoperative follow-up.Results After the mean follow-up time of 18 months (12 to 36 months),the hemiarthroplasty group was superior to the open reduction and DHS plate fixation group ,as shown by the earlier postoperative ambulation time , fewer complications , and better fracture reduction , with an excellent rate of 94 .7%.Conclusion For patients with intertrochanteric fractures , hemiarthroplasty surgery is effective and can re-duce the incidence of postoperative complications .
