Calcar Preservation Arthroplasty for Unstable Intertrochanteric Femoral Fractures in Elderly
BACKGROUND The treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly is still controversial. The purpose of this study is to present treatment strategies for unstable intertrochanteric fractures with hemiarthroplasty using standard uncemented collared femoral stems and at the same time preserving the fractured calcar fragment. METHODS Fifty-four patients aged 75 years or older with uns...
متن کاملHip arthroplasty after treatment failure in intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
Background. Treatment failure in intertrochanteric fractures of the femur leads to pain and limitations of limb function. Methods of treatment allowing for union in order to preserve the proximal femur are undertaken in younger patients. Older patients who have poor quality bone stock and bone loss in the proximal femur are treated with hip arthroplasty. The aim of our study was to perform a lo...
متن کاملFemoral shortening in intertrochanteric fractures. A comparison between the Medoff sliding plate and the compression hip screw.
We compared 54 patients treated by a Medoff sliding plate (MSP) with 60 stabilised by a compression hip screw (CHS) in a prospective, randomised study of the management of intertrochanteric femoral fractures. Four months after the operation femoral shortening was determined from radiographs of both femora. In unstable fractures the mean femoral shortening was 15 mm with the MSP and 11 mm with t...
متن کاملType II Intertrochanteric Fractures: Proximal Femoral Nailing (PFN) Versus Dynamic Hip Screw(DHS)
Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteri...
متن کاملProximal femoral locking plate versus dynamic hip screw for unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures.
PURPOSE To compare the outcome in patients who underwent surgery for unstable intertrochanteric femoral fractures using the proximal femoral locking plate versus the dynamic hip screw (DHS). METHODS 15 men and 5 women aged 32 to 78 (mean, 55) years were randomised to the proximal femoral locking plate group, whereas 14 men and 6 women aged 38 to 75 (mean, 59) years were randomised to the conv...
