Resection of the femoral neck: a new technique for the treatment of mallory type I intraoperative femoral fracture during total hip arthroplasty

We report the results of this new technique at postoperative 2 to 5 years (mean, 3.4 years). All stems were placed in the neutral position. There was no revision and no stem showed any evidence of subsidence or loosening during the follow-up. The mean Harris hip score was 85.9 points at the latest follow-up. We recommend to use the femoral neck excision technique for the treatment of Mallory type 1 intraoperative femoral fractures.PMID:38205751 | DOI:10.52628/89.4.10516
