Clinical efficacy of locking compression plate fixation in treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture

Objective:To investigate the effects of locking compression plate fixation in treatment of intertrochanteric fracture.Methods:Twenty-one cases with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were treated with locking compression plate fixation.Results:The fractures of all cases were recovered after 3-6 months.The complications of nails breakage and internal fixation loosening were not found.The function recovery of hip joint were good and no clear lower limb shortening deformity.Excellent and good effects in 13 and 8 cases were confirmed according to Harris standard.Conclusions:Treatmment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture with locking compression plate fixation is easy to install and fix,which is an effective method of operation with shorter operative time,less bleeding and goog hip joint function recovery.
