Periprosthetic Fractures (Subscribe)  

We present the case of a patient with intraoperative femoral fracture during THA, which was repaired using cerclage fixation and insertion of an hydroxyapatite-coated cementless stem. The patient was evaluated postoperatively using radiostereometry during a 2-year course, and despite a large amount of subsidence and rotation, stabilization occurred and was...

Case discussion of a well illustrated case

The incidence of femur fracture around total hip arthroplasties continues to increase at substantial cost to society. These fractures are frequently associated with a loose femoral component. Consequently, we sought to test whether femoral component loosening predisposes to periprosthetic femoral fracture.
Based on our data, patients with loosened femoral components...

Wheeless Textbook of Orthopaedics Discussion: - known risk factors include notching of the femur, osteoporosis, and excessive polyethylene wear (w/ subsequent osteolytic defect) - Radiographs: - often oblique radiographs are needs as well as AP and Lateral views, due to the rotation of the distal fragment; ...
