Use of an intramedullary hip-screw compared with a compression hip-screw with a plate for intertrochanteric femoral fractures. A prospective, randomized study of one hundred patients.

One hundred elderly patients who had an intertrochanteric femoral fracture were randomized to treatment with a compression hip-screw with a plate (fifty patients) or a new intramedullary device, the intramedullary hip-screw (fifty patients). All patients were followed prospectively for one year or until death. A detailed assessment of the functional status and the plain radiographs of the hip was performed one, three, six, and twelve months postoperatively. The two treatment groups were strictly comparable. The operative time needed to insert the intramedullary hip-screw was significantly greater than that needed to insert the compression hip-screw with the plate (p = 0.02), but use of the intramedullary hip-screw was associated with less estimated intraoperative blood loss (p = 0.011). The prevalence of perioperative complications, such as bronchopneumonia, cardiac failure, and urinary tract infection, was comparable in the two treatment groups. There were one intraoperative fracture of the femoral shaft and two intraoperative fractures of the greater trochanter in the group managed with the intramedullary hip-screw. One patient had pulling-out of the compression hip-screw on the seventh postoperative day. Four patients had a trochanteric wound hematoma, without infection, after insertion of an intramedullary hip-screw. All but one of the fractures healed. The one non-union, which was in a patient who had a compression hip-screw, was treated with a hemiarthroplasty. The mortality rate was similar in the two treatment groups. The patients who had an intramedullary hip-screw had, on the average, significantly better mobility at one (p < 0.0001) and three months (p = 0.0013) postoperatively. This difference was no longer seen at six and twelve months, although the patients who had an intramedullary hip-screw still had significantly better walking ability outside the home at those time-periods (p = 0.05). The compression hip-screw was removed from two patients because of pain in the mid-portion of the thigh, which had begun after consolidation of the fracture. Fourteen patients who had an intramedullary hip-screw had cortical hypertrophy at the level of the tip of the nail at twelve months postoperatively. Cortical hypertrophy was significantly related to the use of two interlocking screws (p = 0.02). Six of these patients also had pain in the mid-portion of the thigh, and the nail had been locked with two screws in five of them. Three of the six patients had the hardware removed because of the pain, and the symptoms resolved. A seventh patient had pain without cortical hypertrophy. The intramedullary hip-screw device was associated with significantly less sliding of the lag-screw and subsequent shortening of the limb in the region of the thigh (p = 0.012 and 0.019, respectively); these differences were more pronounced when the unstable fractures in the two treatment groups were compared (p < 0.001).

Stability assessment of distal radius fractures

Murielle Lafontaine; Dominique Hardy; Philippe Delince

A total of 112 consecutive cases of fractures of the distal radius managed conservatively were graded according to radiological criteria using the first radiograph. These criteria, as well as age over 60 years, were considered as gravity factors. A strong correlation was found between these criteria and the risk of secondary displacement, despite a correct initial reduction.

Bonding of hydroxyapatite-coated femoral prostheses. Histopathology of specimens from four cases

Dominique Hardy; Patrick Frayssinet; André Guilhem; Murielle Lafontaine; Philippe Delince

We examined specimens of hydroxyapatite-coated femoral prostheses from four patients who had died within nine months of implantation for fractured neck of femur. Histology showed newly formed immature bone overlying the hydroxyapatite coating with new trabeculae bridging to the endosteal bone layer. In the diaphysis, where there had been contact between the hydroxyapatite and the cortex, there was dense, firmly anchored bone with an haversian architecture. In other places the newly formed bone had a trabecular structure, containing bone marrow tissue with normal cellularity. It appeared that biological osseointegration had taken place.

New observations on middle term hydroxyapatite-coated titanium alloy hip prostheses

HA-coated hip prostheses were retrieved from elderly patients after death. Histological analysis, scanning electron microscopy and microanalysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry were performed on the same sections. These revealed good osseointegration of the implant material and evolution of bone and material.

Stress Fracture of the Hip: An Unusual Complication of Total Knee Arthroplasty

Dominique Hardy; Philippe Delince; Elizabeth Yasik; Michel Lafontaine

Stress fracture of the hip is a rare complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Only eight cases seem to have been reported in the literature. A ninth case is reported in the present study. A 76-year-old obese woman was treated by right TKA for osteoarthrosis with cementing of the tibial component because of insufficient primary fixation. One year after TKA, she complained of tenderness above the right adductor tendons. There was no history of trauma. One month later, bone scintigrams and roentgenograms demonstrated a stress fracture of the femoral neck. Conservative management was successful. Etiologic factors such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis, steroid medication, or changes in static or dynamic forces of the hip secondary to knee arthroplasty could not be demonstrated in this patient. The increase in activity after TKA may be a factor in the incidence of these stress fractures of the hip. Radionuclear-type bone scan is helpful in diagnosis. The foci of increased isotope uptake are not always seen at the site of the stress fracture and only later visualized by roentgenograms.

Distal Radius Fractures: Evaluation of Instability and Therapeutic Approach

Thierry Authom; Michel Lafontaine; Dominique Hardy; Philippe Delince

For many years, various factors have been considered to be associated with secondary displacement of distal radius fractures. However, the assessment of the instability and the limits of conservative treatment often remain based on the clinical experience of the surgeon. In a previous retrospective study, Lafontaine et al.4 considered 5 supposed severity factors: age over 60 years, dorsal comminution, dorsal angle greater than 20°, intra-articular radio-carpal fracture and fracture of the ulnar styloid process. They found a strong correlation between the sum of these five factors and the risk of secondary displacement after orthopedic reduction and cast immobilization.
