Abstract

55 type I fractures were reviewed. There were 30 male and 25 female, whose average age at revision was 73 years. The average time to fracture after arthroplasty was 7 months. The fracture was spiral in 37 cases. Treatment with a reconstruction prosthesis gave the highest rate of complications including 5 deaths out of 23 cases.
