Abstract: | We report a case of successful treatment of a high, stable intertrochanteric fracture (type 1) in a 59-year-old man. He sustained the injury 8 years after the resurfacing procedure. The fracture was fixed using three 6.5-mm cannulated screws, and he has returned to his normal level of activities 8 months after the fixation. We have shown that fixation with cannulated screws may be an acceptable option for treatment of high trochanteric fractures where a stable anatomical reduction can be obtained. We have also included a review of the literature for other reported surgical treatment options of this complication. |
