Abstract:
Periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur after hip hemiarthroplasty are an increasing concern. The aim of this study was to analyse the 30 day mortality of periprosthetic fractures around a hip hemiarthroplasty. A retrospective case review at a single institution. 32 patients. Mean age 76.5, 16 males and 16 females. 13% underwent non-operative treatment, 50% open reduction internal fixation and 38% revision arthroplasty. 30 day mortality was 12.5% and 1 year mortality 28.1%. Time to surgery was the only significant risk factor for 30 day mortality Periprosthetic fractures following a hip hemiarthroplasty have high 30 day mortality.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...
