Abstract:

During a period of nine years (1982-1991), Pauwels' osteotomy was performed for 38 cases of femoral neck non-:::union:::. 32 led to consolidation with one osteotomy (84%) and 6 failed (3 needed revision (92%), one died and two were lost to follow-up). The length of follow-up was 2-11 years, the average time of non-:::union::: 12 months (ranging from 4 months to 13 years) and the mean patient age 33 years (ranging from 3-58 years). According to the method of fixation the cases were divided into 3 groups, and the best results were achieved in group III which were treated via a modification of Pauwels' technique.

Intertrochanteric osteotomy for non-union of the femoral neck.

We report a series of 50 patients under 70 years of age who had an ununited femoral neck fracture treated by a Pauwels abduction osteotomy. At an average follow-up of 7.1 years, seven patients had required prosthetic replacement and 37 others were reviewed in detail. In these patients the Harris hip score averaged 91. Twenty-two hips showed radiographic evidence of avascular femoral head necros...

Pauwels Osteotomy for Femoral Neck Nonunion in Two Adult Siblings with Osteogenesis Imperfecta

This is a retrospective review of two adult siblings with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) type III (according to Sillence classification), who sustained a spontaneous femoral neck fracture and subsequent nonunion. The diagnosis of OI in these two patients was made based on clinical, radiological and genetic findings. The fracture was most likely caused by femoroacetabular impingement secondary to ...

Modified Valgus Osteotomy for Treatment of Femoral Neck Fracture Non-Union

Background: Non-union of the femoral neck fracture in young and middle-aged patients is a problem and can be very debilitating. If the femoral head is viable, the most appropriate treatment is valgus osteotomy that without refreshing of the fracture site, it only increases the femoral neck angle to change shearing force to compression force. In this study, after refreshing the non-union site an...

Femoral neck osteotomy guide for total hip arthroplasty

BACKGROUND Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common last-resort treatment for hip disease, but postoperative patients often complain of discrepancies in leg length. This study introduces a device designed to increase the precision of the femoral neck osteotomy and reduce the incidence of leg length discrepancy. METHODS Forty-eight patients undergoing THA were divided into two groups, with and...
