Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Many domestic and foreign literatures have reported that half hip replacement for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in the elderly has achieved good results, but the unstable intertrochanteric fracture with hemiarthroplasty is difficult to reconstruct the greater trochanter, and its reconstruction method is still controversial.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss short-term effect of bipolar hemiarthroplasty and reconstruction of the femoral greater trochanter with cerclage band in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients. 
METHODS: Clinical data of 15 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture undergoing bipolar hemiarthroplasty, and reconstruction of the femoral greater trochanter with cerclage band in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People's Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Posterolateral approach was selected. The patients were followed up in out-patient clinic yearly at postoperative 1, 3, 6 and 12 months. Fracture healing was judged using X-ray films, and the possibility of infection was observed. Hip function was evaluated using Harris scoring. Subjective satisfaction of patients was recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) All patients walked within 3 days after operation. All patients were reviewed on time within a year. Postoperative X-ray revealed that the sample achieved initial stability, and had achieved fracture healing of greater trochanter. Blood examination did not show infection index. (2) The Harris score was (86.3±5.8) in final follow-up. Subjective satisfaction of patients was good. (3) In summary, bipolar hemiarthroplasty and reconstruction of the femoral greater trochanter with cerclage band in the treatment of intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients can obtain good therapeutic effect, and it can achieve good prosthesis stability and large trochanter fracture reduction and fixation.
