Résumé
The Medoff sliding plate was designed to treat unstable intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric fractures. This plate has a dual sliding capability along both the femoral shaft and neck in order to improve bone coaptation, interfragment compression and hence load-sharing between bone and implant in hip fractures. In a retrospective study of 63 patients (mean age 82 (51-98) years) with intertrochanteric (n 44) and high subtrochanteric fractures (n 19), we assessed the results with the Medoff sliding plate. All patients, except 1 lost to follow-up, were examined clinically and radiographically. 14 patients died within 1 year, and in the other, the mean follow-up was 15 (6-30) months. 1 technical failure occurred, leading to a single reoperation. The low technical failure rate suggests that the Medoff sliding plate with combined compression modus is suitable for treating intertrochanteric and high subtrochanteric fractures.
