Primary total hip replacement for displaced subcapital fracture of the femur. 1988

Royal Free Hospital, London, England.

The results of primary total hip arthroplasty for sub-capital femoral neck fracture in previously normal hips are reported. Thirty-seven patients aged 70 or less at the time of surgery were reviewed at an average follow-up of 56 months. Eighteen (49%) had undergone or were awaiting revision surgery. A further four (11%) had definite radiological signs of loosening. Harris hip scores were calculated and correlated well with the results of gait analysis; these suggested that it was the more vigorous patients that were more liable to early failure. Consequently, primary total hip replacement is not recommended for subcapital fractures in the younger patient without pre-existing hip pathology.
