title: [Prospective case-control study on comprehensive treatment for elderly hip fractures].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the curative effect of traditional treatment and combination therapy for senile hip fracture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using prospective methods to choose 300 cases of elderly patients with hip fractures from February 2011 to December 2012, which were randomly divided into comprehensive treatment group and conventional treatment group. After screening, 148 case were in comprehensive treatment group,including 62 males and 86 females with an average age of (78.76 +/- 7.32) years old ranging from 60 to 88; 45 cases were intertrochanteric fracture of femur, 103 cases were fracture of neck of femur; Singh index > or = IV in 74 cases, < IV in 74 cases;preoperative Harris score was 39.90 +/- 2.28. There were 146 cases in conventional treatment group,including 60 males and 86 females with an average age of (80.00 +/- 7.06) years old ranging from 66 to 96; 50 cases were intertrochanteric fracture of femur, 96 cases were fracture of neck of femur; Singh index > or = IV in 75 cases, < IV in 71 cases; preoperative Harris score was 40.10 +/- 2.81. Preoperative general situation,leaving bed time and hospital stay, the incidence of postoperative 12 weeks Singh index > or = IV and DPD/Cr value, Harris score at 12 months after operation and the incidence of fracture again of two groups were observed and compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In comprehensive treatment group 140 patients were followed up for 12 to 18 months with an anverage of 14.80 +/- 1.85. In conventional treatment group 132 patients were followed up for 12 to 14 months with an average of 12.75 +/- 0.79. There were no significant differences in age, gender, the classification of fracture, preoperative Harris hip score, preoperative Singh index > or = IV level and DPD/Cr value between the two groups (P > 0.05). Comprehensive treatment group had shorter leaving bed time and hospital stay, smaller postoperative 12 weeks DPD/Cr value and higher postoperative Harris score, higher incidence of postoperative 12 weeks Singh index > or = IV level, lower incidence of fracture again than conventional treatment group, there was statistically significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  For the anti-osteoporosis effect, the comprehensive treatment group has more advantage than traditional treatment group in elderly hip fracture, which can further improve the elderly hip fracture treatment and provide the reference of evidence-based medicine cooperate with rehabilitation department.
