Abstract
Forty patients were treated by means of total hip arthroplasty after nailing of femoral neck fractures had failed. Their average age was 73 years. Thirty-eight patients were still alive after 2 years and were reviewed. Two hips dislocated, but there was no early mortality. The results regarding pain, walking capacity, and function were good, and total hip replacement is considered to be the salvage operation of choice. Vierzig Patienten wurden wegen nicht geheilter Schenkelhalsfrakturen durch totale Hüftarthroplastik operiert. Das Durchschnittsalter war 73 Jahre, Frühsterblichkeit kam nicht vor, zwei Hüften luxierten. Nach zwei Jahren lebten 38 Patienten noch and wurden wieder untersucht. Die Ergebnisse bezüglich Schmerzfreiheit, Gehvermögen und Funktion waren befriedigend. Die totale Hüftarthro-plastik ist als die rettende Operation der Wahl zu betrachten.Keywords
