The patients were divided into 10 patients in the OBS group and 15 in the PFNA group according to different surgical methods. The OBS group reconstructed the bone models and designed the guide plate by computer before the operation, imported the data of the guide plate and bone models into a stereolithography apparatus (SLA) 3D printer, and printed them using photosensitive resin, thus obtaining the physical object, then simulating the operation and finally applying the guide plate to assist OBS to complete the operation; the PFNA group was treated by proximal femoral nail anti-rotation. The operation time, the intraoperative blood loss, Harris hip score (HHS), Oxford Hip Score (OHS), and complications were compared between the two groups.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The operation time and the intraoperative blood loss in the PFNA group were less than that in the OBS group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05). The HHS during the 6th month using OBS was statistically higher than PFNA (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.05), however, there were no significant differences in OHS during the 6th month between the OBS group and PFNA group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &amp;gt; 0.05).
