Primary Cementless Bipolar Long Stem Hemiarthroplasty for Unstable Osteoporotic Intertrochanteric Fracture in the Elderly Patients.

BACKGROUND: Intertrochanteric fracture (ITF) is a major part of fracture in femoral head fracture. 95% of ITF are found in elderly patients. Osteosynthese is the preferred method of choice. However, elderly patients had osteoporotic, combined with many of chronic disease conditions that increase the rate of osteosynthese failure. Hemiarthroplasty bipolar long-stem is a surgical method that helps patients relieve pain, facilitate early rehabilitation, limit long-term complications, and improve quality of life for patients.

AIM: The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical of result of primary cementless bipolar long stem hemiarthroplasty in treatment for unstable ITF in the elderly patients who have severe osteoporosis.

METHODS: Between 01/2016 and 12/2017, 35 patients with ITF type A2.2 and A2.3 (AO) were included in our prospective study. These patients were over 70 years old and treatment by hemiarthroplasty cementless long stem at E hospital and Saint Paul hospital by one group surgeons.

RESULTS: Mean age of studied subjects was 84.29 ± 6.17, the lowest was 71, the highest was 96; ratio male/female was 1/4. Follow-up of 35 patients for at least 6 months showed 88.6% caused by a low-energy injury; Average rehabilitation time was 4.63 ± 1.7 days. The average Harris point at the end was 90.4 ± 4.72.

CONCLUSION: Primary cementless bipolar long stem hemiarthroplasty is one of good choices in treatment unstable ITF in elderly patients with severe osteoporosis helped patients improve the quality of life.
