Abstract

The femur fracture after hip arthroplasty is rare, but serious complication. So, its treatment is difficult and controversial.
Nonunion and loosening of hip arthroplasty are common at this problem and badly affected to hip joint function.
We have experienced 3 cases with Dall-Miles cable grip system at femur fracture after hip arthroplasty.
Dall-Miles cable grip system provides rigid fixation including greater trochanter.
The results was good at early experience and necessary to long term follow up.
