Abstract
To explore the clinical effect of bio lengthened stem arthroplasty replacement in the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly. From January 2015 to January 2018, 64 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were analyzed retrospectively. According to the surgical treatment, patients were divided into arthroplasty replacement group (bio-lengthened stem arthroplasty replacement) and internal fixation group (PFNA). In the arthroplasty group, there were 34 cases, including 19 males and 15 females, with an average age of (81.32±3.81) years old. The Evans classification of fracture was type Ⅲ in 15 cases, type Ⅳ in 16 cases and type Ⅴ in 3 cases. In the internal fixation group, there were 30 cases, including 14 males and 16 females, with an average age of (79.90±3.61) years old. The Evans classification of fracture was type Ⅲ in 10 cases, type Ⅳ in 15 cases and type V in 5 cases. X ray and CT showed unstable intertrochanteric fracture of femur. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss and complications were observed. Harris hip function score and SF-36 life quality score were used to evaluate the clinical effect. All the incisions healed in stage Ⅰ. All patients were followed up for 13 to 39 months with an average of 23.4 months. The operation time and bleeding volume of the patients in the arthroplasty replacement group were more than those in the internal fixation group (P<0.05). At the final follow-up, Harris function score of hip joint in the arthroplasty group was better than that in the internal fixation group (P< 0.05);SF-36 life quality score in the arthroplasty group was better than that in the internal fixation group (P<0.05). The treatmentof unstable intertrochanteric fractures with bio-lengthened stem arthroplasty replacement and internal fixation can achieve good clinical results, but with bio-lengthened stem arthroplasty replacement, the postoperative complications are less, the function of hip joint is better, and the life quality and satisfaction of patients are higher.
