Abstract

Curative effect of artificial femoral head replacement on hip joint function and complications of elderly patients with femoral intertrochanteric fracture were investigated. Eighty patients who were operated for femoral intertrochanteric fractures operation were randomly divided into observation group (n=40) and control group (n=40). The observation group was treated with artificial femoral head replacement, while the control group received internal proximal femur locking plate fixation. In the observation group, the operation time was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). The intraoperative bleeding was less than that in the control group (P<0.05). The postoperative indwelling drainage time was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). Besides, at 3, 6 and 12 months after operation, 10 m walking speed in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The 5-time sit-stand time was shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 1 week, 1 month, 3, 6 and 12 months after operation, Harris hip joint scores and visual analogue scale scores in the observation group were both superior to those in the control group (P<0.05). Moreover, the total hospitalization time in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group. Time of walking on crutches and walking without crutches was earlier than that in the control group (P<0.05). The overall proportion of postoperative chronic pain, thrombosis and failed surgery in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Finally, physical and psychological scores in the observation group after intervention were obviously higher than those in the observation group before intervention and the control group after intervention (P<0.05). Artificial femoral head replacement is characterized by the short operation time, less intraoperative bleeding, fast postoperative recovery of joint function, low degree of pain and fewer complications in the treatment of senile femoral intertrochanteric fracture, which can improve the postoperative life quality of patients.
