Combination of locking plate and anti-osteoporosis drug for the treatment of senior osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures.

To analyze and evaluate the clinical efficacy of the combination of locking plate and anti-osteoporosis drug for the patients with senior osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures. 120 patients with senior osteoporotic proximal humerus fractures were selected as research objects. According to the differences of treatment options, they were divided into two groups, i.e., 60 patients in observation group accepting the treatment of combination of locking plate and anti-osteoporosis drug, the other 60 patients in the control group accepting simple locking plate treatment. The treatment effect and final result between the two groups were compared. The follow-up result showed that the average fracture healing time of observation group was (94.5±4.2) days, with excellent treatment rate reaching to 93.33% (56/60); the average fracture healing time of control group was (116.5±3.8) days, with excellent treatment rate of 75% (45/60). The intergroup different was of statistical significance, wherein p<0.05. The treatment efficacy of the combination of locking plate and anti-osteoporosis drug for senior osteoporotic proximal humeral fractures is faster and more precise, which is worth being applied in clinical practice.
