Abstract

For nearly 30 years we have been using a special hook for reattachment of the trochanter. Its use has been evaluated in 80 hip replacements. Non-union was seen in one case. Loss of trochanteric position occurred in 9% of the hips. Trochanteric bursitis was a frequent complication (10%) and six patients had the hooks removed on that account.
