Abstract:
Objective To explore the feasibility and therapeutic effects of total hip replacement (THR) for intertrochanteric fractures combined with late necrosis of the femoral head.Methods From June 2010 to October 2015,8 patients underwent THR for intertrochanteric fractures combined with necrosis of the femoral head.They were 6 males and 2 females,with an average age of 53.5 years(from 45 to 67 years).According to the Evans-Jensen classification,2 fractures were type ⅠB,5 type ⅡA and one type ⅡB.All the 8 fractures were complicated with late femoral head necrosis,5 cases of which were ischemic.According to the Ficat classification,the ischemic necrosis was type Ⅲ in one and type Ⅳ in 5 cases.In the other 3 cases,the necrosis secondary to the hip osteoarthrosis was type Ⅲ according to the Tonnis classification.The necrotic femoral head was removed after osteotomy of the femoral neck via the posterolateral approach;after reduction of the femoral calcar,the intertrochanteric fracture was reduced and fixated in a press-fit manner through antegrade implantation of a biological stem prosthesis.Functional assessment of the affected hip was carried out at the final follow-up using Harris scoring.Results The 8 patients were followed up for an average of 25.5 months (from 12 to 45 months).After operation,biological press-fit and initial stability of the femoral stem were achieved in all the patients.The X-ray films showed bone ingrowth fixation in all the 8 hips at 3 months postoperatively.The Harris hip scores at the final follow-up averaged 92.3(from 89 to 98).The patients showed fine subjective satisfaction.Follow-ups revealed no infection,prosthetic failure,osteolysis,dislocation or articular instability.Conclusion In treatment of intertrochanteric fractures combined with necrosis of the femoral head,THR can lead to fixation and reduction of the intertrochanteric fracture and replacement of the necrotic femoral head at one stage,promoting functional recovery of the affected hip.
