Cementless calcar-replacement stem with integrated greater trochanter plate for unstable intertrochanteric fracture in very elderly patients

Abstract

Hemiarthroplasty using the MOD-Centaur stem for unstable intertrochanteric fracture in very elderly patients offers favorable outcomes. These findings encourage early walking without any loading limitations, despite severe osteoporosis, and emphasize the importance of greater trochanteric fixation, which reconstructs the mechanism of the gluteus medius muscle.
