description Abstract Aims Following Failed Internal Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures (FIF-ITF), the choice of treatment remains a clinical challenge. This study introduces a novel classification system to guide the selection of femoral prostheses in hip arthroplasty (HA) and validates its clinical efficacy. Methods Retrospectively, we analyzed 108 cases from three university-affiliated hospitals between December 2012 and February 2023 involving patients who underwent hip arthroplasty due to Failed Internal Fixation of Intertrochanteric Fractures (FIF-ITF). Patients were classified into three categories based on fracture healing, proximal femoral support, and the severity of femoral cortical defects, with subtypes identified. Surgical outcomes and complication rates were compared between the Classification-based Decision Group and the Non-classification Decision Group. Results The Classification-based Decision Group did not differ significantly from the Non-classification Decision Group in operation time, blood loss, or the use of cemented stems. However, the classification system markedly reduced the risk of periprosthetic fractures intraoperatively from 22.5 to 4.4% and postoperatively from 10 to 1.4%. The Classification-based Decision Group also demonstrated higher postoperative Harris Hip Score (HHS) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores. Conclusion The proposed classification system serves as an innovative clinical tool for femoral prosthesis selection in hip arthroplasty post-FIF-ITF, effectively reducing complications and enhancing hip function in the Classification-based Decision Group, underscoring its significant clinical utility.
