Effect of Internal Fixation Modalities on Complications of Unstable Intertrochanteric Fractures of the Femur
Objective:To investigate the effect of internal fixation modalities on the complications of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures.Methods:80 patients with unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures combined with medial wall defects were ran-domly selected from March 2016 to December 2019 as the study subjects,and were divided into the observation group(anatomical locking steel plate internal fixation)and the control group(powered hip screw internal fixation),with 40 cases in each group.Postoperative complications and improvement in hip fracture function were compared between the two groups.Results:The length of incision,surgical operation time,and fracture healing time of the observation group were shorter than those of the control group,and intraoperative blood loss and tube placement and drainage were lower than those of the control group,the rate of hip joint excellence in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,the complication rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(t=6.339,3.270,6.021,12.054,χ2=4.713,3.914,P<0.05).Conclusion:Internal fixation modalities have a significant impact on the complications of unstable intertrochanteric femur fractures,and the selection of appropriate internal fixation modalities can accelerate postoperative rehabilitation,reduce postoperative complications,and promote functional recovery.
