Objective: To analyze the effects of dynamic hip screw (DHS) and anatomical locking plate in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients. Method: 56 cases of intertrochanteric femur fracture from March 2009 to October 2011 were treated by surgical treatment. The cases were divided into A and B groups with A group treated with DHS and B group with anatomical locking plates. Results : Treatments of the two groups were successful. Operation time, bleeding volume, postoperative drainage, hospitalization time and fracture healing time of B group were significantly less than that of A group ( p < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative complications in B group was significantly less than that in the A group ( p < 0.05). The excellent and good ratings of B group was 93.1% and 66.7% for the A group. The fine rating of B group was higher than that of A group ( p < 0.05). Conclusion: Anatomical locking plate internal fixation for the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly has certain advantages.
