Objective To compare the clinical effect of day surgery mode and inpatient operation mode for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients.Methods Thirty-seven elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated in day surgery mode in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from July 2018 to July 2019 were retrospectively included. At the same time, another 37 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture treated in general inpatient operation mode in the same period were randomly selected. The preoperative waiting time, operation time, length of hospital stay, hospital expenses, postoperative complications, and clinical effect were compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in operation time [(56.21±10.75) vs. (58.81±12.56) min] or postoperative Harris hip scores (1 month after surgery: 61.03±7.74 vs. 59.47±7.42; 3 months after surgery: 85.40±4.22 vs. 85.03±4.33) between the two groups (P>0.05). In terms of the preoperative waiting time [(23.17±3.18) vs. (52.64±10.12) h], length of hospital stay [(2.01±0.97) vs. (8.34±4.22) d], hospital expenses [(4.012±0.771)×104 vs. (4.679±1.117)×104 yuan], and the incidence of deep venous thrombosis during perioperative period (10.8% vs.37.8%), the day surgery mode group had more obvious advantages than general inpatient operation mode group (P<0.05).Conclusions Day surgery mode is safe and effective for intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients. It is worthy of great application for clinical work in the future.
