TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Femoral fracture following total hip replacement JO - Harefuah A1 - Kligman, M. A1 - Roffman, M. SP - 327 EP - 9, 383 VL - 132 IS - 5 N2 - Between January 1990 and May 1996 we performed 500 total hip replacements, 6 of which were complicated by ipsilateral femoral fracture. Treatment was either by skeletal traction or by internal fixation, with or without revision-total hip replacement. Results of surgical treatment were superior to those of conservative treatment. This study supports use of Mennen plate-fixation. Further studies are necessary for final evaluation of the efficacy of this method.
