Re-attachment of the un-united trochanter in Charnley low friction arthroplasty

JP Hodgkinson, P Shelley, and BM Wroblewski

Centre for Hip Surgery, Wrightington, England.

In a prospective study, a double crossover wire with a compression spring was used to re-attach 52 un-united trochanters at revision operations on total hip arthroplasties. Bony union was achieved in 42 (81%) and was not influenced by the duration of the nonunion or the separation gap. The new method compared favourably with earlier revisions at which other methods of trochanteric re-attachment had been used.
