ABSTRACT
Due to demographic changes, fractures and subsequently delayed fracture healing as well as pseudarthrosis of the proximal femur are on the increase. In the acute fracture situation, a load-stable treatment with an intramedullary implant (cephalomedullary nail) is generally sought. To date, there is no uniform consensus on the optimal treatment for complicated cases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiological outcome after revision of pseudarthrosis using a 95° blade plate in aseptic proximal femoral pseudarthrosis and to identify the specifications of blade plate treatment.The retrospective study design was used to evaluate data, some of which were prospectively collected. The study period covered January 2010 to December 2020 and 22 patients (10 women, 12 men) with an average age of 59 years were included in this single-center study. All patients showed pseudarthrosis after a femoral fracture type AO 31 A1-A3 or proximal femoral fracture type AO 32â¯A-C. Clinical and radiological follow-up were performed after 3, 6 and 12 months. Functional outcomes were assessed using the modified Harris hip score (mHHS), the numerical rating scale (NRS) and the short form health survey (SF-12).The postoperative radiological results after reosteosynthesis using a blade plate showed good results and 86.4% of the patient population were healed during the observation period. Pseudarthrosis persisted in four patients and was surgically revised.The functional results showed good results on average, albeit with a high dispersion of 17-91 points in the mHHS. The SF-12 averaged 42.6 (±10.4) points and the psychological score 49.4 (±9.6) points. The postoperative pain level was low both at rest and under stress.It was shown that reosteosynthesis with a blade plate is a surgically demanding but effective treatment option with a low potential for infection and safe bone consolidation, especially for the correction of high-grade axial deviation or varus malalignment.
