Comparative analysis on ALP and PFNA in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures / 中国医学装备

ABSTRACT

Objective: To compare and observe the clinical efficacy of ALP and PFNA in treatment of intertrochanteric fractures, to provide clinical evidence for such patients. Methods:The clinical data of 122 cases patients with intertrochanteric fractures admitted to our department from January, 2012 to January, 2013 was analyzed retrospectively. 72 patients treated with PFNA were regarded as the study group and 50 patients with ALP as controls group. Two groups were compared with surgical incision, blood loss, operative time, healing time, hip functional recovery and postoperative complications. Results: The incision length, blood loss, operative time, postoperative weight-bearing activity time, fracture healing time, Harris score and complications of study group were significantly better than the control group (P<0.05), with statistical significance. Conclusion: The long-term efficacy of PFNA and ALP has no difference, but PFNA has smaller wound, less bleeding, sooner fracture healing time and weight-bearing activities and better early results.
