Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures
1University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill.
Abstract:
Fracture of the femoral shaft around a hip prosthesis presents the simultaneous problems of prosthetic stability and femoral- fracture management. Treatment options include nonoperative stabilization (traction) and operative stabilization by means of intramedullary fixation, extramedullary fixation, or proximal femoral prosthetic replacement.
