Abstract: [Abstract] Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of proximal femoral locking compression plate (LCP) on treating senile osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures. Patients and methods thirty-one patients with senile osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures were treated by proximal femoral locking compression plate fixation, including 12 males and 19 females, mean age 74.3 (range 65-85) years. Bone healing, functional restoration of the limbs and complications were observed and evaluated. Results twenty-eight patients were followed, with a mean follow-up period of 13.5 months, ranges from 9 to 21 months. All got bone union. No complications such as non-union, loosening or coxa vara were found. Conclusions proximal femoral locking compression plate is a reliable choice for senile osteoporotic intertrochanteric fracture treatment with favorable results.
