Abstract
Objectives: To observe the clinical value of 3D printing technology assisted surgery combined with early postoperative comprehensive rehabilitation in elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures.Methods: Sixty elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures of the femur who were treated in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected and randomly divided into two groups. In the experimental group, 3D printing technology assisted surgery combined with early postoperative comprehensive rehabilitation was used for treatment. While in the control group, traditional open reduction and dynamic hip screw internal fixation combined with postoperative conventional treatment was utilized. The duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, weight bearing time, fracture healing time and other surgical indicators were recorded respectively, and hip joint function recovery was evaluated prior to and 2 weeks after surgery. All patients were followed up for six months to observe the occurrence of complications within half a year, including deep vein thrombosis, incision infection, avascular necrosis of femoral head, hip joint stiffness, delayed fracture healing, etc. Subsequently, the differences in postoperative complications between the two groups were compared and analyzed.Results: The operation time, blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, weight bearing time and fracture healing time of the experimental group were better than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). After treatment, the hip joint function of the experimental group was significantly improved compared with the control group, with a statistically significant difference(p=0.03). The incidence of operative complications in the experimental group was 10% (3/30) within six months postoperatively, significantly lower than the 33% (10/30) in the control group, with statistical significance (p=0.03).Conclusion: 3D printing with early rehab proved to be effective treatment in our study. Such a combined treatment has the advantages of precise operative reduction, fast postoperative recovery, and certain safety and effectiveness.
