Abstract:
51 fractures during total hip arthroplasty were studied. Fractures appeared to be predisposed to several factors: osteoporosis (20%), revision (32%), neck fractures (30%), ankylosis of the hip (16%). The risk seemed greater with non cemented prostheses. Consolidation was obtained in 60.6 days : no statistical difference was found with respect to the type of fracture or treatment.Such fractures do not seem to jeopardize the stability of the femoral component in the long-term.
