Reattachment of the greater trochanter after hip replacement.
A method of performing a biplanar intracapsular trochanteric osteotomy with a Gigli saw was designed and tested prospectively in 431 cases of Charnley low friction arthroplasty. Three methods of trochanteric reattachment were tested, and a double cross-over wire with a compression spring was best; this method was successful in 222 out of 226 patients (98.2%), of which half were revision operati...
متن کاملDislocation following total hip replacement.
An analysis of 142 dislocations from a multicentre study of 6774 total hip replacements is reported. The incidence of dislocation was 2.1 per cent. Patients with neuromuscular disorder, those in a confused mental state, and those undergoing revision operations are at special risk. The commonest surgical error, present in nearly half the patients, was placing the acetabular cup too vertically or...
متن کاملUse of locking plates for fixation of the greater trochanter in patients with hip replacement
BACKGROUND Fixation of the greater trochanter with total hip replacement is challenging and associated with short- and long-term complications. Locking plate technology has been used for fixation of other bones and may be applied successfully in trochanteric fixation. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the utility of the use of trochanteric locking plates in total hip arthro...
متن کاملFracture of the greater trochanter during hip replacement: a retrospective analysis of 21/372 cases.
We reviewed retrospectively 373 total hip replacements operated on using a lateral approach with the patient in a supine position. We found 21 iatrogenic fractures of the greater trochanter, all in women. 15 cases were diagnosed during the operation and were treated with wire fixation. 6 fractures were diagnosed on radiographs during the first 3 months following the operation. 2 of these 6 case...
متن کاملSecondary total hip replacement after fractures of the femoral neck.
We studied the rate of revision in 84 consecutive total hip replacements performed for failed osteosynthesis of femoral neck fractures and compared it with that for primary arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. The age and sex adjusted risk of prosthetic failure was 2.5 times higher after failure of fixation, but all the excess risk was in patients over 70 years of age. There were radiographic signs...
