Does revision open reduction and internal fixation with bone grafting improve healing in patients with failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures?
Revision internal fixation with bone grafting is an effective salvage strategy for failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures, achieving a 95% union rate.
Haidukewych et al. (2003) conducted an observational in failed internal fixation of intertrochanteric hip fractures (n=20). revision open reduction and internal fixation and bone grafting was evaluated on healing of nonunions. Revision open reduction and internal fixation with bone grafting for failed intertrochanteric hip fractures achieved healing in 95% (19 of 20) of nonunions.
