    ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect and operating technique on the treatment of osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture of femur with the locking compression plate (LCP).MethodsFrom Feb. 2006 to Oct. 2009, 49 patients with osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture of femur were treaded with different internal fixation methods, concluded 22 males and 27 females with an average age of (74.68 +/- 5.94) years old ranging from 63 to 90 years. Among them, 29 patients were treaded with LCP, and the other 22 cases with DHS. According to X-ray and Ultrasound bone mineral desity, all cases were diagnosed in osteoporosis. The operative time, blood loss, fluoroscopy exposure frequency, bone healing time and the time of first away from bed.ResultsAll patients were followed up from 6 to 35 months. The operative time, fluoroscopy exposure frequency, the bone healing time and the time of being away from bed were compared between two groups, there were no statistical differences (t=1.347, 1.603, 1.973, 1.032, P>0.05). As compared with DHS group, the intraoperative blood loss in LCP group was less than that of DHS group, there were statistical differences (t=2.14, P<0.05).ConclusionThe LCP is an effective method in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of femur. The method has the advantages such as small wound and early recovery, especially appropriate for older patients. But the procedure as well should be demanded strictly.
