Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Intertrochanteric fracture of the femur is a common fracture in older people. Due to the poor systemic condition and prognosis of elderly patients, it is prone to more complications. We introduce the bone-setting concept in the design of the robots, which are used for intertrochanteric fracture of the femur reduction. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of bone-setting robots and conventional reduction in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture of the femur (IFF).
