Technical note: a modified Harris trochanteric reattachment technique.
A trochanteric reattachment technique which does not penetrate the femoral canal with wire has been developed for use in revision surgery or with press-fit implants. This technique was shown by in vitro mechanical testing to be comparable in stability to the standard Harris trochanteric reattachment method. It has been used successfully in 15 clinical cases.
