Hip arthroplasty after failed treatment of an intertrochanteric fracture in elderly patients is a technically challenging procedure. Its difficulty is due to several factors including; poor bone quality, bone loss and articular cartilage damage. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the results and complications of hip arthroplasty performed as a salvage procedure after the failed treatment of an intertrochanteric hip fracture
