Application of early holistic therapy in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinical effect of early holistic treatment in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture.@*Methods@#From January 2017 to December 2017, 84 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture received by orthopaedics department of Shaoxing Central Hospital were divided into two groups.The observation group (46 patients) received early holistic therapy, and the control group (38 patients) received traditional orthopaedic trauma treatment.Two groups of patients were treated with proximal femoral anti-rotation intramedullary nail fixation, and the therapeutic effect was compared between the two groups.@*Results@#After 12 months of follow-up, the scores of Harris(evaluation standard of total hip joint curative effect) pain, mobility, deformity, function and total scores in the observation group were (39.13±2.66)points, (3.40±0.44)points, (3.30±0.38)points, (37.73±2.44)points, (83.56±2.51)points, respectively, which were higher than those in the control group[(37.05±2.95)points, (3.17±0.59)points, (3.09±0.52)points, (35.67±3.19)points, (78.98 ±3.37)points], there were statistically significant differences between the two groups (pain: t=3.395, P=0.001; activity: t=2.044, P=0.044; deformity: t=2.135, P=0.035; function: t=3.352, P=0.001; total score: t=7.131, P=0.000). After 12 months of follow-up, the excellent and good rate of operation in the observation group was 84.78%, which was higher than 71.05% in the control group, there difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=5.477, P=0.019). The clinical statistics showed that the time from injury to operation, the time of ambulation and hospitalization in the observation group were (2.31±0.53) d, (3.53±0.69)d, (15.86±2.60)d, respectively, which were shorter than those in the control group[(3.45±1.02)d, (5.02±1.13)d, (19.73±3.12)d], the differences were statistically significant between the two groups (the time from injury to operation: t=6.585, P=0.000; the time of ambulation after operation: 7.128, P=0.000; hospitalization time: t=6.202, P=0.000). The incidence of complication was 6.52% in the observation group and 23.68% in the control group, the difference was statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=11.484, P=0.000). There was no death in the observation group at 12 months after operation, and the mortality rate in the control group was 2.63%, the difference was no statistically significant between the two groups (χ2=2.665, P=0.102).@*Conclusion@#The application of early holistic treatment concept in the treatment of elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture can improve the therapeutic effect and shorten the rehabilitation process of the patients.
