Of these patients, 39 received the lateral enhanced fixation with locking plate, while the remaining 44 had cerclage wire as additional fixation. The clinical data were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>All the patients in the study had surgical procedures performed smoothly. Although the plate group had significantly longer operation times and significantly higher hospitalization expenses than the wire group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), no statistically significant differences in intraoperative blood loss and hospital stay were proved between the groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). The follow\u2010up period lasted for 12\u201324\u2009months with an average of (16.81\u2009\u00b1\u20092.92) months. The plate group returned to full\u2010weight bearing significantly earlier than the wire group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The Harris Hip Score (HHS) significantly increased in both groups over time postoperatively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The plate group achieved a higher HHS than the wire group, which was statistically significant at 3\u2009months (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05), whereas it became insignificant at 6 and 12\u2009months postoperatively (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Regarding radiographic assessment, an excellent rate of fracture reduction was proved in 71.79% of the plate group, compared to 45.45% of the wire group, which was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). In addition, fracture healing was achieved significantly earlier in the plate group than the wire group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05); nevertheless, no statistically significant difference was noted in neck\u2010shaft angle at the latest follow\u2010up between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). At the latest follow\u2010up, two cases of implant loosening and two cases of coxa varus were found in the plate group, while one case of femoral head necrosis and three cases of coxa varus were revealed by radiographs in the wire group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The cerclage wire has benefits of saving time and operation costs; however, the locking plate has the advantages of improving fracture reduction quality, shortening time to full weight bearing and fracture healing, and improving hip function recovery due to the lateral additional fixations to proximal femoral intramedullary nail for unstable trochanteric fractures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/os.12595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,21]],"date-time":"2019-12-21T10:14:17Z","timestamp":1576923257000},"page":"108-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["A
