The reaction ability of the elderly decreases, and the hip muscle protection is poor. Under the action of external force, fracture is prone to occur. Relevant documents report that the proportion of intertrochanteric fracture of femur accounts for as high as 50% of hip fracture. Due to the structural characteristics of the place, surgical treatment is currently recognized as the best treatment.

[0003] The main means for treating fracture in orthopedics is internal fixation, which is mainly metal bone plate.
