Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures after Hip Arthroplasty

ABSTRACT

Periprosthetic femoral fractures are increasing. In a periprosthetic femoral fracture, treatment is difficult and complications are common. The result of total hip arthroplasty becomes poor. The study sought to determine the cause and risk factors of periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip arthroplasty, and discusses treatment according to the guidelines of the Vancouver classification.
