Special arthroplasty features for femoral neck pseudoarthrosis

Abstract

The work demonstrates the results of treatment of female patient B., 61 years old, with the diagnosis: posttraumatic pseudoarthrosis of the left femur neck, the pain syndrome, combined contracture of the hip, relative 4.7-cm shortening of the left lower limb, local osteoporosis. She underwent arthroplasty of the left hip using the DePuy prosthesis with cementless fixation. Due to the pathology complexity the mobilization of the capsule-and-ligamentous apparatus was additionally performed in the area of the greater and lesser trochanters up to the attachment sites of the muscles forming the hip. A good anatomic-and-functional result was obtained.
