Percutaneous compression plate versus sliding hip screw in treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic and stable intertrochanteric fracture / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of minimally invasive treatment of elderly patients with osteoporotic and stable intertrochanteric fracture with percutaneous compression plate as compared with sliding hip screw.Methods Retrospec-tive analysed 86 old patients with stable intertrochanteric fracture treated by PCCP(PCCP group)or SHS(SHS group)from Janu-ary 2009 to December 2010.There was 39 cases in the PCCP group and 47 cases in the SHS group.The operation time,blood loss, transfusion rate,incidence of lateral wall rupture,full weight bearing time and last Harris hip scores were recorded and compared between two groups.Results Shorter operation time,less blood loss and high Harris scores were observed in the PCCP group(P0.05). Conclusion compared with SHS,PCCP can lead to a lower surgery blood loss,shorter operation time and a better hip function.It is a suitable impant for elderly patients with osteoporotic and stable intertrochanteric fracture.
