ABSTRACT
Authors reviewed their experience with 19 cases of periprosthetic fractures in 19 patients [No bilateral cases]. Follow up period ranged between 18 months and 39 months [mean average of 28 months]. Patients aged between 42 years and 67 years [mean average 58 years]. There were 11 males and 8 females. All patients were classified according to the classification. Two were type A, 13 type B and 4 type C. Treatment was tailored according to stem stability varying from simple wiring or screw fixation for greater trichinae fractures [Ag type] to compete revision using made prosthesis. We had only one case of failed fixation [5.3%]. We concluded that sound and tailored surgical management based on a proper classifications gives good results on the final outcome:
