Abstract:Objective To investigate the clinical effect of locking plate and anatomical plate in the treatment of distal femoral fractures. Methods Sixty-six patients with distal femoral fractures treated in our hospital from November 2016 to November 2018 were selected as the research subjects.They were divided into group Ⅰ(n=33) and group Ⅱ(n=33)according to the coin tossing.In group Ⅰ, locking plate was used, while in group Ⅱ, anatomical plate was used.The total therapeutic effectiveness rate, and surgical indicators were compared between the two groups. Results The total therapeutic effectiveness rate in group Ⅰwas higher than that in group Ⅱ, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the operation time between the two groups (P>0.05).The hospital stay and fracture healing time in group Ⅰwere shorter than those in group Ⅱ (P<0.05).The intraoperative blood loss in group Ⅰwas less than that in group Ⅱ, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The scores of mental state, activity ability and daily life of group Ⅱwere higher than those of group Ⅰ, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with the anatomical plate, the locking plate is more effective for the treatment of distal femoral fractures.The surgical trauma is milder and the hospital stay is much shorter, which is conducive to rapid recovery after surgery.
