L'étude du mécanisme responsable de la fracture nous a permis de classer ces complications en 4 groupes. Huit fois, il existait un descellement du pivot fémoral préexistant à la fracture. Parmi ces huit cas, nous avons trouvé 4 descellements Stade III et 4 descellements Stade IV établis selon la classification de la SO.F.C.O.T. de 1988 [...] Les trois fractures Type I étaient toutes associées à un descellement complet de l'implant fémoral dû au traumatisme, sans signe radiologique de descellement préexistant.
