Overview

Retrospective study shows locking compression plates improve recovery in elderly with femoral neck fractures, indicating fewer complications.

Key Points

  • Locking compression plate internal fixation achieved quicker partial weight-bearing exercise compared to cannulated screws, enhancing recovery.
  • Patients with locking compression plates had fewer postoperative complications, suggesting a safer option for elderly femoral neck fractures.
  • Range of motion in hip movements was significantly better in the locking plate group at one and six months post-operation, indicating superior joint functionality.
  • Visual Analog Scale scores demonstrated lower pain levels in the locking plate group, implying better pain management in the recovery process.
