Abstract:Objective To evaluate the treatment efficacy of proximal femoral benign tumor with reversed non-contact bridging plates.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the 44 patients who suffered benign tumor in proximal femur and received treatment in the department of orthopaedics of Changhai hospital.After the curettage of tumor lesion and bone grafting,26 patients in Group A received the internal fixation with reversed non-contact bridging plates,while 18 patients in Group B received the external fixation with braces.The adverse events rate,the time of weight loading after operation,and Harris hip scores (one month,three months and half a year after operation respectively) between the two groups were compared.Results There was no loosening or breakage of internal fixation in Group A during the follow-up,while one patient in Group B suffered fracture in the bone grafting location.The time of weight loading after operation in Group A was shorter than that in Group B,P<0.001.The Harris hip scores of one month and three months after operation in Group A were higher than those in Group B.Differences were statistically significant as the P values were 0.009 and 0.007,respectively.Conclusion Reversed non-contact bridging plates have a good result in the treatment of the proximal femoral benign tumor.The plate helps to shorten the time before weight loading after operation and promote the functional recovery of hip.
