ABSTRACT
Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of locking plate (LCP),dynamic hip screw (DHS)and proximal femo-ral nail (PFNA)internal fixation in the treatment of elderly stable femoral intertrochanteric fracture.Methods A total of 60 pa-tients with stable stable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients were randomly divided randomly into proximal femoral LCP fixation group (group A),the DHS fixation group (group B)and PFNA fixation group (group C).The operative time,blood loss, postoperative complications and postoperative weight-bearing time were analyzed among three different groups.Results There were significant difference in blood loss,postoperative weight-bearing time,operative time among three different groups (P < 0.05 ). Group C was significantly better than the group A(P <0.05).Two cases of hip varus deformity,one case of crew loosening and su-perficial infection were appeared among group A.One case of hip varus deformity occurred in group B.One case of suffered refrac-ture occurred in group C.Conclusion LCD fixation,fixation with DHS and PFNA fixation are effective treatment for stable femoral intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly patients.
