Internal fixation is commonly used to treat fractures in the hip. However, failure of proximal femoral fracture fixation is common and treated with total hip replacement (THR). The aim of this study is to present our midterm results of dual mobility (DM) THR for failed internal fixation of proximal femur fractures. Between 2010 and 2015, a total of 28 cases of failed internal fixation for hip fractures were treated through DM total hip arthroplasty. Two patients died during the early postoperative period due to medical complications. The average follow-up was 3.4 years. We had one patient with superficial surgical site infection which was managed by local wound debridement and dressings. The average Harris hip score was 85. DM THR is the procedure of choice for revising failed internal fixation for hip fractures in our patients with good clinical outcome.

Abstract Aim To identify the mortality associated with failed internal fixation and hemiarthroplasty of neck of femur fractures. Method Patients undergoing conversion of internal fixation / hemi arthroplasty were identified from theatre records and surgical databases. Data was stored in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Clinical outcomes at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years post conversion total hip replacement. Results 60 cases were collected between June 2006 and November 2016. 46 females and 14 males involved in the case. The mean age of male patients was 66.5 and for females 67.9. 32 patients had previous sliding hip screw fixation,12 had intra-medullary nails, 8 had cannulated screw fixation and 5 patients had hemiarthroplasty. The mean time to failure was 22 months (Range: 2 weeks to 60 months) and there were 6 cases of late posttraumatic arthritis (range 4 yrs to 23 yrs). Average time from documented failure to conversion THR was 2 months. There were 2 superficial wound infections which were successfully treated with antibiotics. There were 2 cases of deep infection which required multiple debridement, washout, and prolonged inpatient stay. Average duration of hospital stay was 5.7days. 18 patients died before 5 years for reasons unrelated to their hip. All had a functional prosthesis at time of last review. 42 patients alive at 5 years had a functional prosthesis at last review Conclusions Total Hip Arthroplasty is a successful procedure for failed fixation / hemiarthroplasty despite the technical challenges. A 3–5-year mortality rate of 33.33 % reflects well against the NHFD 1year mortality of 30 %.

Aims Despite few good-quality studies on the subject, total hip arthroplasty (THA) is increasingly being performed for displaced intracapsular fractures of the neck of femur. We compared outcomes of all patients with displacement of these fractures treated surgically over a ten-year period in one institution. Methods A total of 2,721 patients with intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck treated with either a cemented hemiarthroplasty or a THA at a single centre were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcomes analyzed were readmission for any reason and revision surgery. We secondarily looked at mortality rates. Results We found no difference in the overall revision rate or rate of infection. However, the rates of readmission due to dislocation, pain, and trochanteric bursitis were significantly higher in the THA group (p = 0.001, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p = 0.001, respectively). Conclusion Our study, comparing the outcomes of neck of femur fractures treated with a cemented hemiarthroplasty and THA, revealed the perceived superiority of THA was not borne out by our results. This should be carefully considered before any radical change in practice regarding the use of THA for displaced intracapsular fractures of the femoral neck.

Aims Femoral bone preparation using compaction technique has been shown to preserve bone and improve implant fixation in animal models. No long-term clinical outcomes are available. There are no significant long-term differences between compaction and broaching techniques for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in terms of migration, clinical, and radiological outcomes. Methods A total of 28 patients received one-stage bilateral primary THA with cementless femoral stems (56 hips). They were randomized to compaction on one femur and broaching on the contralateral femur. Overall, 13 patients were lost to the ten-year follow-up leaving 30 hips to be evaluated in terms of stem migration (using radiostereometry), radiological changes, Harris Hip Score, Oxford Hip Score, and complications. Results Over a mean follow-up period of 10.6 years, the mean stem subsidence was similar between groups, with a mean of -1.20 mm (95% confidence interval (CI) -2.28 to -0.12) in the broaching group and a mean of -0.73 mm (95% CI -1.65 to 0.20) in the compaction group (p = 0.07). The long-term migration patterns of all stems were similar. The clinical and radiological outcomes were similar between groups. There were two intraoperative fractures in the compaction group that were fixed with cable wire and healed without complications. No stems were revised. Conclusion Similar stem subsidence and radiological and clinical outcomes were identified after the use of compaction and broaching techniques of the femur at long-term follow-up. Only the compaction group had intraoperative periprosthetic femur fractures, but there were no long-term consequences of these. Cite this article: Bone Jt Open 2021;2(12):1035–1042.
