Le résumé fourni par la source

Background: The Management of unstable osteoporotic intertrochanteric fractures in elderly is challenging because of difficult anatomical reduction, with a high risk of morbidity and mortality, The aim of study is to do functional evaluation of primary cemented hemiarthroplasties as a treatment option in elderly patient. Material and Methods: We prospectively analyzed 27 cases of primary hemiorthroplasty performed for unstable intertrochanteric fractures. The functional outcomes were assessed based on Harris hip score.Result: The functional outcome is better with less time to full weight bearing and less postoperative complications. Conclusion: Hemiorthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures in elderly results in early ambulation with acceptable complications and good functional results.
