Comparative study of fixed fracture rate of locking plate and conventional plate in patients with femoral fractures / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the reason of fracture internal fixation of locking plates and conventional plate in the treatment of femoral fractures.Methods A total of 198 patients with femoral fracture taken plate fixation were selected as our subjects.Of which,the locking plate were used in 87 cases served as control group and 111 cases had traditional plate fixation served as study group.Fracture fixation rate in patients were follow-up and the reasons for broken were analyzed.Results Fracture fixation occurred 5 cases (4.5％,5/111) in the locking plate,and 3 cases (3.4％,3/87) in traditional plate,and the difference was not significant (x2 =0.053,P =0.987).Fracture reason included plate fracture (4 cases),fracture of screws (2 cases) and plate fracture complicated with breakage of screw (2 cases).Iatrogenic factors lead fracture fixation was 30.0％ (3/10),significantly higher in patients with rehabilitation exercises errors (6.9％,2/29; x2 =3.851 ; P =0.046).Both iatrogenic factors and rehabilitation exercises errors caused fracture fixation rate was 100％.Conclusion Iatrogenic factors combined rehabilitation exercises error was the main reasons in fracture fixation.We should properly choose fixation methods and correctly guide the postoperative functional exercise for patients.
