Cervical hip fracture is a topical issue since results of its treatment are often
unsatisfactory. Effectiveness of osteosynthesis for patients of elderly and old age is
substantially reduced because of difficulties with rehabilitation. This work is aimed at
improvement of the results of cervical hip fracture treatment for patients of elderly
and old age with the help of endoprosthesis replacement. Material and methods:
During the period 2004-2009 126 patients were operated with the use of cemented
hip joint endoprosthesis produced by Altimed JSC, of which 36 patients were male,
90 - female. Average age of the patients - 75±0.4 years. All patients had serious
concomitant disease (arterial hypertension, coronary disease, atherosclerosis with
brain arterial involvement, kidney disease and pancreatic diabetes, atherosclerotic
and post-hypertensive cardiosclerosis, chronic bronchitis). Results and discussion:
Intra-operational complications were registered in 10 cases, of which two cases of
hip diaphysis fracture, eight cases of trochinter fracture. Post-operational
complications were registered in 20 cases, of which 6 cases of endoprosthesis hip
dislocation, 6 cases of phlebothrombosis, 8 cases of hypostatic complications.
Average bed-day was 18.5 days. All patients were discharged in good level of health.
Hip joint endoprosthesis replacement with cemented endoprosthesis produced by
Altimed JSC is good option for patients of elderly and old age. Endoprosthesis of
Altimed JSC are produced from materials corresponding to the highest international
standards, using the most recent technologies. This type of treatment allows to
facilitate rehabilitation of patients after operation and substantially improves the
quality of life of patients.
