Due to local bone loss, re-attachment of the greater trochanter is often difficult in revision total hip arthroplasty and pseudoarthrosis of the greater trochanter. We use the Dall-Miles cable grip system (DMCGS) for trochanteric fixation in 17 hips (ten hips with revision, five hips with T. H. R. and two hips with pseudoarthrosis of the greater trochanter). Post-operatively, the trochanter failed to unite in two hips, caused by failure of the position of the cable grip. In all other cases, good radiological and clinical results were achieved. Better results are obtained using the DMCGS in cases of trochanteric bone loss following hip surgery using trochanteric osteotomy.
