Abstract

Hip arthroplasty outcomes for 202 patients, aged 40-88 years, with femoral neck pseudarthrosis were analyzed. All patients were divided into 3 groups depending on the type of treatment (surgical or conservative) and terms of the removal of previously implanted metal constructions (before or during surgical procedure). Good and satisfactory results by Harris hip score were achieved in 94.6% of observations. The reasons of postoperative complications were considered for every group of patients. It was stated that in 30 (14.9%) cases the formation of pseudarthrosis resulted from ungrounded use of osteosynthesis in Garden III and IV fractures.
