Reattachment of the greater trochanter after hip replacement

BM Wroblewski and P Shelley

A method of performing a biplanar intracapsular trochanteric osteotomy with a Gigli saw was designed and tested prospectively in 431 cases of Charnley low friction arthroplasty. Three methods of trochanteric reattachment were tested, and a double cross-over wire with a compression spring was best; this method was successful in 222 out of 226 patients (98.2%), of which half were revision operations. Adduction seemed to be the main movement leading to trochanteric detachment.
