All patients underwent either dynamic intramedullary nail fixation or plate fixation with bone grafting while retaining the original intramedullary nail. There were 104 males and 24 females;the age ranged from 19 to 59 years old with an average of(32.70±9.21) years old. Patients were categorized into dynamization group and plate group based on the distinct treatment modalities. There were 67 patients in the dynamization group, comprising 54 males and 13 females. The age range was from 19 to 58 years old, with a mean age of (32.68±9.33) years old. All patients underwent open reduction and anterograde interlocking intramedullary nail fixation. Dynamic fixation was implemented between 10 and 28 months postoperatively.The plate group comprised 61 patients, of whom 50 were male and 11 were female. The age distribution ranged from 20 to 59 years old, with a mean age of (32.84±9.07) years old. All patients underwent open reduction and anterograde interlocking intramedullary nailing. Plate reinforcement fixation was performed between 10 and 30 months postoperatively. The incision length, duration of surgery, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization period, fracture healing status, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups of patients.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>All patients were followed up for a minimum duration of 1 year. The mean follow-up period for the dynamization group was(26.12±11.82) months, compared to (26.57±12.48) months for the plate group. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (<i>P</i>>0.05). The incision size (2.73±1.21) cm, operation time (22.73±3.20) min and blood loss (19.06±6.22) ml in the dynamization group were significantly less than those in the plate group(22.53±2.24) cm, (126.40±13.91) min and(237.36±81.56) ml, respectively(<i>P</i><0.05). All nonunion in the plate group were successfully healed, and the healing time duration ranged from 4 to 7 months with an average of(6.16±0.99) months. In the dynamization group, a total of 42 patients achieved fracture healing, with a healing duration ranging from 4 to 8 months with an average of (6.26±1.23) months. There was significant difference in healing rate between 2 groups (<i>P</i><0.05), but there was no significant difference in healing time between 2 groups (<i>P</i>>0.05). The average treatment cost was(17 700.18±4 846.27) yuan in the plate group and (334.24±18.16) yuan in the dynamization group, and there was significant difference in costs between 2 groups (<i>P</i><0.05).</p><p><strong>Conclusion:","PeriodicalId":23964,"journal":{"name":"Zhongguo gu shang = China journal of orthopaedics and traumatology","volume":"38 4","pages":"378-83"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144021479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
