[Hemiarthroplasty for the treatment of complicated femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients].
Zhongguo Gu Shang = China Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology 2018 September 26
OBJECTIVE: To discuss the hemiarthroplasty for the threatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients.
METHODS: From August 2013 to January 2017, 66 elderly patients with complicated femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated including 20 males and 46 females with an average age of 85 years old ranging from 80 to 95. According to improve Evans classification, 33 cases were type III, 24 cases were type IV, 9 cases were type V. History included 31 cases of hypertension, 10 cases of diabetes, 12 cases of severe osteoporosis, 5 cases of atrial fibrillation, 3 cases of pulmonary heart disease, and 1 case of multiple myeloma. Hip hemiarthroplasty was used in 34 cases and internal fixation in 32 cases. The bleeding volume, complications and Harris scores of the two groups were observed and compared.
RESULTS: The amount of blood loss during and after operation were(320±20) ml and(200±25) ml in the joint replacement group, and (350±30) ml and(250±30) ml in the internal fixation group, and there was no statistical difference between the two groups( P >0.05). All patients were followed up for an average of 2 years. The Harris score of the joint replacement group was 85.0±6.4, which was higher than that of the internal fixation group (72.0±3.4)( P <0.05). The difference of complications between the two groups was statistically significant ( P <0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fractures have many basic diseases, and the expected survival time is short. Using artificial bipolar femoral head prosthesis can restore the hip function early and to the maximum degree, make the patients get down in the bed early, effectively reduce the complications caused by internal fixation, improve the patient's quality of life and satisfaction, and early treatment. It is a kind of supplemental treatment, which conforms to the theory of rapid rehabilitation surgery and injury control, but should not expand the indication and strengthen the management of the perioperative period.
