| Popis: | Salvage conversion hip arthroplasty is a viable solution to restore function and reduce pain after failed intertrochanteric hip fracture fixation. Our primary objective was to assess early outcomes achieved with primary cementless metaphyseal-engaging femoral stems for conversion hip arthroplasty compared with revision diaphyseal-engaging stems. This was a retrospective review of 70 patients with failed intertrochanteric hip fractures subsequently managed with conversion total hip arthroplasty or hemiarthroplasty. Thirty-five patients who underwent conversion using a primary cementless stem were compared with 35 patients who underwent conversion using a revision stem. The groups were similar regarding sex, body mass index, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, preoperative diagnosis, and implants removed. Clinical and radiographic outcomes and complications were compared over a mean follow-up of 6 years. The primary stem cohort had a shorter mean hospital stay (3.03 vs 4.34 days, P =.028). There were no significant differences between the primary and revision cohorts regarding mean time to conversion (2.26 vs 1.75 years, P =.671), operative time (127 vs 131 minutes, P =.611), incidence of discharge to home (54.3% vs 37.1%, P =.23), postoperative complications (5.71% vs 5.71%, P =1.0), reoperations (5.71% vs 11.4%, P =.669), leg length discrepancy (5.33 vs 7.38 mm, P =.210), subsidence (20.0% vs 23.3%, P =.981), and Hip dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (78.6 vs 81.9, P =.723). We report comparable outcomes of conversion hip arthroplasty with the use of primary cementless and revision stems. Current primary cementless femoral stems may be considered for conversion hip arthroplasty for failed intertrochanteric fracture fixation. [ Orthopedics . 202x;4x(x):xx–xx.] |
