The Efficacy Comparison of DHS Conventional Internal Fixation and Minimally Invasion to Treat Osteoporotic Femoral Intertrochanteric Fractures in the Elderly
Abstract：Objective:To explore the clinical effect of DHS conventional internal fixation and minimally invasive treatment of osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly.Methods:72 elderly patients with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures from October 2010 to October 2011 in author’s hospital were randomly divided into control and observation group,and each group of 36 cases.The control group was given conventional DHS open reduction and internal fixation while the observation group was received DHS minimally invasion.The operative blood lose(perioperative bleeding/blood loss during operation),operation time,complications,fracture healing quality and postoperative recovery were compared in the two groups.Results:The operative time,incision length and intraoperative blood loss(the amount of blood loss) and hospital stays in the observation group were significantly lower than the control group(P<0.05);the clinical efficacy of the observation group was better than the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion:The clinical efficacy of DHS minimally invasive fixation for treating with osteoporotic femoral intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly is simple,safe and reliable fixation with lower rates of complication,minimize surgical injury and risk,it can improve their quality of life and it should be vigorously promoted in the clinical application.
