Objective To compare the efficacy of artificial femoral head replacement for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients using ulnar hawksbill plate and wire binding to fix the greater trochanter. Methods Retrospective analysis of 46 patients with intertrochanteric femur fracture who underwent artificial femoral head replacement in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 was performed, which were divided into 24 cases in the wire binding group and 22 cases in the titanium plate fixation group. The operation time, bleeding amount, patients' first time to get down to the ground, and the difference of VAS and Harris scores of hip function at 1 month, 6 months and 12 months after operation in the two groups were compared. Results The operation time and bleeding amount in the wire group were better than those of plate group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the patients' first time to get down to the ground between the two groups (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Harris score of 1 month after operation (P>0.05). Harris scores of 6 months and 12 months after operation in the plate group were better than those of the wire group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05).VAS score of 1 month after operation in the plate group was better than that of the wire group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the VAS score of 6 months and 1 year after surgery (P>0.05). Conclusions Compared with wire fixation of greater trochanteric fractures, plate fixation has better early joint function.
