Effect of Locking Compression Hook Plate Internal Fixation on Patients with Fracture of the Fifth Metatarsal Base Region
Objective:To analyze the effect of locking compression hook plate(LCHP)internal fixation on the fracture of the fifth metatarsal base region.Methods:A total of 120 patients with fracture of the fifth metatarsal base area admitted to Ma Station People's Hospital of Yishui County from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and divided into a control group and a study group according to random number table method,with 60 cases in each group.The control group underwent internal fixation with hollow screw,the study group underwent internal fixation with LCHP.The surgical indicators,pain degree,foot function,quality of life and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in operation time between the two groups(P>0.05).The hospitalization time and fracture healing time of the study group were shorter than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Three months after surgery,the Pain Visual Analogue score of the study group was lower than that of the control group,and the ankle-posterior foot function score of the American Society for Foot and Ankle Surgery and the physiological,psychological,social and environmental scores of the World Health Organization Simple Scale of Quality of Life were higher than those of the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05).The incidence of complications in the study group was 3.33%,lower than 13.33%in the control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:LCHP internal fixation can reduce postoperative pain in patients with fracture of the fifth metatarsal base region,facilitate rapid fracture healing,improve foot function,improve quality of life,and lower complication rate.
