Abstract

Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of patients with femoral prosthesis fracture phenomena after the application of locking plate fixation for hip replacement surgery. Method: 78 cases of postoperative patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture phenomenon after hip replacement were selected and divided randomly into a control and treatment group, respectively, with an average of 39 cases per group. The control group was treated with the shape memory alloy inner ring fixing technology whereas the locking plate fixation was applied for the treatment group. Result: Fracture treatment around the femoral prosthesis in patients of treated group was better in comparison to the control group. Significantly, the treatment group revealed shorter duration of hospitalization, the recovery of limb weight-bearing capacity and the healing process as compared to  the control group. Harris scores were significantly higher in the treated group in contrast to the control group. Additionally, lower adverse reaction rate was found in the treatment group as compared to the control group. Conclusion: Obviously, patient who have femoral periprosthetic fracture phenomena after receiving hip replacement were likelihood to be treated with the locking plate fixation technique.
