  • RECONSTRUCTION OF HIP JOINT FUNCTION:OLD FRACTURE DISLOCATION OF HIP JOINT COMPLICATED WITH DEFORMED HEALING OF UPPER 1/3 OF FRACTURED FEMUR——A CASE REPORT

    OBJECTIVE: To explore a method of reconstruction of hip joint function after deformed healing of the upper 1/3 of fractured femur as a complication of old fracture dislocation of hip joint. METHODS: A patient with loss of function in hip joint and fusion of knee joint was treated with lock for femur intra-medullary fixation in April 1997. RESULTS: Before operation, the diseased hip joint lost its most functions and the entire lower extremity was disabled because the knee joint had been fused. One year after operation, the follow-up examination revealed that the patient could walk by crutches without discomfort, his daily life and work recovered to normal. CONCLUSION: It is effective to treat a patient suffering old fracture-dislocation of hip joint complicated with deformed healing of the upper 1/3 of fractured femur by means of individualized artificial joint replacement and a prosthesis body with lock for femur intra-medullary fixation, and it is helpful for the development of a new clinical idea to reconstruct functions in the management of some particular cases.
