Study summary

To evaluate the efficacy and safety of internal fixation or arthroplasty for hip fracture patients over 75 years of age with multiple medical complications through the operation time, intraoperative bleeding, time to start weight bearing activities and other indicators.

Read the detailed description

Patients will be enrolled from five study centers, each center will be free with regard to surgical indications and postoperative prescription. The unstable fractures were A2 and A3 (31 A2.2 and 3, and 31 A3.3) according to the AO classification. The investigators will use a prospective randomized approach to determine the treatment procedure for patients. The patients undergoing arthroplasty will be regarded as the experimental group and the patients who accept the intramedullary nail fixation will be regarded as the positive control group. All patients will receive consistent anticoagulant, analgesic and other therapeutic measures in the perioperative period except for the different surgical methods. The two groups will be compared in age, sex, pre-fracture place of residence, fracture type and preoperative comorbidity. The investigators will evaluate the effect and safety of the two types of operations by comparing the surgical related data, complication incidence and functional rehabilitation.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Joint replacement

    Intertrochanteric fracture patients were treated with joint replacement surgery.The postoperative drainage volume, blood transfusion volume, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, early weight bearing time will be recorded, and postoperative pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, bedsore incidence and postoperative functional rehabilitation will be observed.

    Procedure: Joint replacement surgery

  • Active comparator
    Intramedullary nail fixation

    Intertrochanteric fracture patients were treated with intramedullary nail fixation surgery.The postoperative drainage volume, blood transfusion volume, intraoperative blood loss, operative time, early weight bearing time will be recorded, and postoperative pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, bedsore incidence and postoperative functional rehabilitation will be observed.

    Procedure: Intramedullary nail fixation

Interventions

  • ProcedureJoint replacement surgery

    Joint replacement surgery is to replace the original joint function, so that the patient can recover the joint function as soon as possible.

  • ProcedureIntramedullary nail fixation

    Internal fixation surgery is the stable fixation of fracture, which provides the condition for the restoration of joint function.
