OBJECTIVE To investigate the mid- and long-term clinical results of trochanteric flip osteotomy for treating Pipkin type I and II femoral head fractures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed twenty-three patients (aged 23-72 years with a mean of 44.1 years, including 15 male and 8 female patients) with femoral head fractures and posterior hip dislocation. The fracture was classified according to Pipkin classification based radiographic findings, and 9 patients were found to have type I and 14 had type II fractures. Trochanteric flip osteotomy was performed in all patients for surgical open reduction and internal fixation of the fractures. The clinical and radiographic outcomes of the patients were measured using Thompson-Epstein scoring scale and Merle d' Aubigne-Postel score. RESULTS One patient with follow-up period less than 12 months was excluded from analysis. Of the 22 patients (95.7%) followed up for more than 12 months (mean 23.5 months), the average Merle d' Aubigne Postel score was 13.77 at the final follow-up. According to the Thompson-Epstein criteria, 8 (36.4%) patients had excellent, 9 (40.9%) had good, 3 (13.6%) had fair, and two (9.1%) had poor outcomes; the total rate of excellent and good outcomes was 77.3% in these 22 patients. None of the patients developed habitual dislocation of the femoral head after the operation. Heterotopic ossification occurred in 2 patients. Partial neurapraxia of the sciatic nerve occurred in one patient and recovered completely within 6 months. Three patients developed post-traumatic arthritis, and one of them had avascular necrosis of the femoral head one year after surgery and received subsequently total hip arthroplasty. CONCLUSION The follow-up data demonstrate that trochanteric flip osteotomy is an effective and reliable option for treating Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures.

Application of Trochanteric Flip Osteotomy with Herbert Screw to Treat Pipkin I,II Fracture of the Femoral Head

There is no definite protocol in management of Pipkin fracture in relation to operation approach and internal fixations. The aim is to explore the therapeutic effects of internal fixation with Herbert screws for the treatment of Pipkin type I and type II femoral head fractures through the trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) approach. From January 2010 to December 2014, 12 cases of type I and II P...

Letter to the editor: Use of a trochanteric flip osteotomy improves outcomes in Pipkin IV fractures.

UNLABELLED The optimal surgical approach for combined femoral head and acetabular fractures (Pipkin IV) is controversial because of their rarity and lack of definitive reports. Surgical dislocation with trochanteric flip osteotomy (TFO) allows simultaneous exposure of the acetabulum and femoral head. We protected the obturator internus and inferior capsule during repair with a heavy suture at t...

The role of trochanteric flip osteotomy in fixation of certain acetabular fractures

PURPOSE Complete visualization of certain acetabular fractures of posterior wall or column with cranial extension involving superior dome from standard surgical exposures is a challenge. Osteotomy of the greater trochanter has been used to enhance fracture visualization, especially the dome, in posterior and lateral exposures of the acetabulum. It also decreases the need for excessive muscle re...

Type 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...
