Abstract:Background: Recent advances in medical systems and technologies have resulted in increased survival after intertrochanteric fractures of the femur, requiring the selection of appropriate femoral stems considering mid- to long-term durations. We performed hip hemiarthroplasty for unstable intertrochanteric fractures using a Wagner cone femoral stem (Group A) and double tapering right angled femoral stem (C2 stem, Group B), and evaluated the clinical imaging results.
