Effect of internal fixation with interlocking intramedullary nail in the treatment of traumatic long tubular bone fracture of lower extremity / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of interlocking intramedullary nailing in the treatment of patients with traumatic long tubular fractures of the lower limbs.Methods:From April 2018 to October 2019, 114 patients with traumatic long tubular bone fractures of the lower extremity who were treated in the Department of Orthopaedics of the People's Hospital of Dongyang were selected.They were divided into two groups according to the random number table method, with 57 patients in each group.The control group received plate internal fixation, the observation group used interlocking intramedullary nailing.The treatment effect, operation time and complications of the two groups were compared.Results:The total effective rate in the observation group (98.25%) was higher than that in the control group (66.67%), the operation time [(69.87±3.46)min] and the incidence of complications (5.26%) were lower than those in the control group [(90.14±7.47)min, 19.30%], and the differences were statistically significant (χ 2=19.646, 5.211, t=18.589, all P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional steel plate internal fixation, interlocking intramedullary nail internal fixation is more effective in the treatment of patients with traumatic long tubular bone fractures of the lower extremities, the operation time is shorter, and the probability of postoperative complications is lower and has certain clinical value.
