OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of hemiarthroplasty combined with greater trochanter reattachment device for intertrochanteric @entity174 in elderly @entity1 . METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 34 @entity1 (35 hips) with intertrochanteric @entity174 underwent hemiarthroplasty combined with greater trochanter reattachment device between February 2010 and April 2013. Of 34 @entity1 , 16 were males (16 hips) and 18 were females (19 hips), and the mean age was 85.6 years (range, 77-95 years). All @entity174 were caused by falling. The left hip was involved in 20 cases, the right hip in 13 cases, and the bilateral hips in 1 case. There were 33 cases (34 hips) of fresh @entity174 , and 1 case (1 hip) of old @entity174 . @entity174 were rated as type III in 6 cases (6 hips), type IV in 11 cases (11 hips), and type V in 17 cases (18 hips) according to Evans-Jensen standard. All of the @entity1 had different degree of @entity170 and @entity66 . RESULTS: All @entity1 underwent surgery successfully. The operation time was 70-90 minutes (mean, 76.6 minutes); the intraoperative @entity190 was 260-400 mL (mean, 301.5 mL); the postoperative drainage was 80-530 mL (mean, 290.6 mL); and the hospitalization time was 10-12 days (mean, 11.7 days). @entity86 of incision occurred in 1 case, which was cured after dressing; primary healing of incision was obtained in the other @entity1 . No lower extremity @entity1150 or other complications was observed. Twenty-six cases (27 hips) were followed up 12-48 months (mean, 21.3 months). X-ray examination showed @entity174 healing, and the healing time was 2.5-3.5 months (mean, 2.8 months). There was no dislocation, @entity1349 , dislocation, loosening of @entity702 cable, @entity3564 , or other complications during the follow-up period. According to Harris hip score, the results were excellent in 8 hips, good in 15 hips, fair in 4 hips, and the excellent and good rate was 85.2% at 1 year after operation. CONCLUSION: The hemiarthroplasty combined with greater trochanter reattachment device is a feasible and effective method to treat intertrochanteric @entity174 in the elderly @entity1 . It can allow early ambulation and improve quality of life, but it is necessary to strictly control the indications, and perioperative management should be paid attention.
