Percorso di trattamento delle fratture del femore prossimale. L’utilizzo del cotile a doppia articolarità: nuove prospettive e risultati

Displaced fractures of the proximal medial femur in elderly patients with high functional demands are treated with the implantation of a hip replacement. The double articulation cup was used in prosthetic instability, regardless of the causes of instability, with good results. We have treated 539 consecutive patients from 2006 to 2012. The double articulation cup has proven effective in reducing the incidence of dislocations.
