Clinical outcomes and revision strategies following failed internal fixation of peri-trochanteric femoral fractures: a retrospective cohort study

We classified peri-trochanteric fracture surgical failures into four distinct categories based on age, presence of infection, integrity of the femoral head and acetabulum, varus deformity, and implant condition. We developed detailed diagnostic and treatment protocols for each category. Adhering to our established protocols, the imaging results and functional scores of all patients were consistently favorable. Our comprehensive treatment strategy can serve as a critical reference for standard revision procedures in the management of peri-trochanteric fractures.
