Does cementless total hip arthroplasty improve outcomes in patients with failed treatment of subtrochanteric fractures?
Cementless THA is an effective salvage procedure for failed subtrochanteric fracture treatments, though it carries risks of increased blood loss and complications.
Our results indicate that cementless THA is a beneficial and effective procedure for salvaging the failed treatment of subtrochanteric fractures. The Wagner conical prosthesis has shown satisfactory function outcomes, stable fixation, and survival rate for these complex situations. However, attention should be paid to increased operation time, blood loss, and complications when performing THA for subtrochanteric fractures with failed fixation devices especially, plates and screws.
Jin et al. (2021) studied this question.
