Long-term results of the Girdlestone hip.

The Girdlestone hip is a possible alternative in cases where reconstruction and reimplantation appear hopeless. Only a minority of the 22 patients we followed for up to 16 years have had results ranging from good to satisfactory.

[Elongation of the femur in congenital defect (author's transl)].

The various forms of congenital abnormality of the femur usually require combined conservative and operative procedures over a long period of time. Operative treatment depends essentially on the morphological findings. The literature is discussed. The authors present a case in whom the pseudoarthrosis can be utilised to obtain femoral lengthening and the operative detail is discussed.

[Congenital femoral defect (author's transl)].

The various forms of congenital femoral defect are discussed according to the classification by Blauth, basing on own observations made by the authors. Choice of therapy is mainly determined by the morphological findings, preference being given to long-time conservative therapy for the controlled promotion of growth. The article comments on the indication and performance of supplementary operative intervention.

[Fractures of the femural shaft following trepanation of the corticalis and how to avoid it. At the same time an article on changing hip endoprothesis (author's transl)].

The problem of trepanation of the corticalis is investigated in 2 cases of femoral shaft fractures following a lateral trepanation of the femur, which can very often not be avoided in performing a necessary change of the hip prothesis. It can be demonstrated that because of the stress on the femur and its mechanical characteristics (material distribution, density distribution, breaking strength, "structure" strength and the histological structure), a lateral trepanation of the femoral corticalis is weakening the bone in its mechanically most stressed part whereas an anterior fenestration is mechanically much better. Considering the distribution of the strain in differently formed notches with rapid increase of strain with local rigidity in a pointed notch a mechanically much better rounding of the notch is suggested.
