Abstract：Objective To explore the clinical curative effect of artificial femoral head replacement versus in -ternal fixation in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients .Methods From May 2008 to August 2013 received 110 intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly patients were randomly divided into experimental group ( n=55) and control group(n=55), and underwent artificial femoral head replacement or fracture internal fixation .Re-sults The operation time , hospitalization time and the time of started rehabilitation training in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group ( P<0.05 );There was no significant difference in the perioperative com-plications between two groups ( P>0.05 );The short term success rate in experimental group was significantly higher than in control group and there was no statistically significant difference in the long -term success rate between two groups.Conclusion The advantages of arthoplasty and internal fixation of fractures are different identical ,compared with the internal fixation , artificial femoral head replacement is the scientific and rational choice for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures .
