[Hip arthroplasty after failed internal fixation of the trochanteric fractures in aged patients with co-existent osteoporosis].
The authors present the results of hip arthroplasty of 67 patients treated after failed internal fixation of the osteoporotic, trochanteric fractures of the femur, which were primary stabilised with angular plate AO in 39 patients and with dynamic hip screw (DHS) in 28 patients. In the discussed material 16 persons were male and 51 female, in the age between 51 and 83 years old. According to the Evans classification in 4 cases we diagnosed type I of fracture, in 10--type II, 31--type III and in 22--type IV. Hip arthroplasty was made from the 3rd to the 39th week after primary fixation of the fracture. In 42 patients we made total hip arthroplasty, in 14 cases Austin-Moore hemiarthroplasty, and in 11 patients bipolar arthroplasty. According to the Postel and Merle d'Aubigne classification there were obtained 29 very good, 21 good and 17 satisfactory results.
