Total Hip Arthroplasty the best Intervention for Femur-neck fractures

In-Hospital Outcomes after Hemiarthroplasty versus Total Hip Arthroplasty for Isolated Femoral Neck Fractures

  Background:    Previous studies suggest total hip arthroplasty may have some benefits compared to hemi-arthroplasty for displaced intracapsular femoral neck fractures in patients more than 60 years of age. The primary research question of our study was whether in-hospital adverse events, post-operative length of stay (LOS) and mortality in patients 60 year of age or older differed between tot...

Total hip arthroplasty following failure of dynamic hip screw fixation of fractures of the proximal femur.

Thirty-two patients (11 male, 21 female) with a mean age of 64 years were prospectively studied after undergoing total hip replacement after failed treatment of intertrochanteric fractures. One patient had bilateral surgery. The mean time from primary surgery to the salvage arthroplasty was 15 months (range, 4 to 32 months). The mean follow-up period was 57 months (range, 30 to 108 months). Int...

Intraoperative Periprosthetic Fractures During Total Hip Arthroplasty

Small Stem Total Hip Arthroplasty in Hypoplasia of the Femur

UNLABELLED Total hip arthroplasty in hypoplastic femurs is technically difficult and the incidence of complications and aseptic loosening is relatively high. Cemented, uncemented, off-the-shelf, and custom-made stems all have been advocated in these cases. From 1978 to 1997, we performed 86 total hip arthroplasties in 77 patients with a hypoplastic femur using a cemented, off-the-shelf, small, ...
