[Fixation of the osteotomised greater trochanter by total hip prosthesis in 181 cases. Advantages of the fixation with intramedullary Kirschner wire and the figure-of-eight wire loop (author's transl)].
It is mostly possible to implant a total hip prosthesis without an osteotomy of the greater trochanter. It is however necessary to do it in some cases such as an ankylosed hip, a reimplantation and a severe form of the coxarthrosis. 181 patients have been followed up. The fixation by intramedullary Kirschner wire and figure-of-eight wire loop has been of success. It is a simple method. No fracture of the greater trochanter has been observed.
