Treatment of trochanteric and subtrochanteric hip fractures

The percutaneous compression plate (PCCP) in the treatment of trochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients.

We carried out a prospective study to assess the value of mini-invasive osteosynthesis with the PerCutaneous Compression Plate (PCCP) in the treatment of trochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients. Sixty five consecutive patients were included, with an average age at surgery of 84.2 years (range : 63 to 99), with more than 93% ASA 2, 3 or 4 patients. No perioperative complications were note...

Hip arthroplasty after failed fixation of trochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures
