Cause analysis and prevention strategy of dislocation following artificial joint replacement in previous stroke aged patients with femoral neck fracture of the hemiplegic extremity
ObjectiveTo study reason, treatment method, and prevention of dislocation following artificial joint replacement in previous stroke aged patients with femoral neck fracture of the hemiplegic extremity. MethodsOf 8 previous stroke aged patients with femoral neck fracture of the hemiplegic extremity, 6 were successfully relocated by manual reduction, 1 was performed with open reduction plus rear side structural reinforcement after the failure of manual reduction, and the other with overhaul operation after repeated dislocation. ResultsAll 8 patients were followed up for 1.5 to 5 years, no dislocation was observed. ConclusionDislocation following artificial joint replacement in previous stroke aged patients with femoral neck fracture of the hemiplegic extremity was due to preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors affecting the stability of hip prosthesis. Poor hip prosthesis installation and postoperative surrounding soft ti ssue imbalance are the main culprits. Well preoperative preparation and active prophylaxis can reduce the dislocation after operation
