[Treatment of intertrochanteric hip fracture in the elderly with cervico-cephalic prosthesis (author's transl)].
The author report on 100 cases of intertrochanteric hip fracture in the elderly treated with modified Moore's cervico-cephalic prosthesis (C.C.M.K.). The technique suppressed the risk of mechanical deterioration, reduced the lethal risk and gave functional and radiological results comparable to those obtained in large series of cervical fracture of the femur treated with cephalic prosthesis. In view of the usually poor functional status of these patients, these results can be considered as globally satisfactory.
