Comparative Study on the Efficacy of Plate Fixation and Intramedullary Nail Fixation in the Treatment of Chronic Osteomyelitis of the Long Bones of the Adult Lower Limbs Using the Masque-let Technique
Objective To compare the efficacy of plate fixation and intramedullary nail fixation in the treat-ment of chronic osteomyelitis of the long bones of the adult lower limbs using the Masquelet technique.Meth-ods A total of 60 adult patients with chronic osteomyelitis of long bones of lower limbs treated in Liaocheng In-fectious Disease Hospital from January to June 2022 were randomly selected as the research objects.According to different methods of second-stage intramedullage bone grafting induced by Masquelet,these patients were di-vided into intramedullage nailing group(n=30)and plate fixing group(n=30).The relevant indexes of the two groups were compared.Results The healing time and weight-bearing time of intramedullary nail fixation group were shorter than those of plate fixation group,and the differences were statistically significant(both P<0.05).The total complication rate of intramedullary nail fixation group was 3.33%,lower than that of plate fixation group(10.00%),and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).Before treatment,the quality of life levels of patients in the two groups were compared,and the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).After treatment,the quality of life level in the intramedullary nail fixation group was higher than that in the plate fixation group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with plate fixing group,intramedullary nail fixation helps improve chronic osteomyelitis of adult lower limb long bones patients'quality of life and promotes postoperative recovery.It has significant clinical effects.
