Fractures after hemialloplastic hip replacement.

E Larsen, H Menck, A Rosenklint

    The Journal of Trauma
    |January 1, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Femoral shaft fractures after hip replacement are linked to prosthesis issues and osteoporosis. Early mobilization is best achieved with long-stem prostheses and internal fixation.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Geriatric Medicine

    Background:

    • Hip replacements can lead to secondary femoral shaft fractures.
    • Understanding risk factors is crucial for preventing these fractures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate risk factors, treatment outcomes, and social costs of femoral shaft fractures post-hip replacement.
    • To identify optimal treatment strategies for improved patient mobilization.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 44 patients with ipsilateral femoral shaft fractures after hip replacement.
    • Assessment of risk factors including prosthesis loosening, osteoporosis, and implant alignment.
    • Comparison of treatment methods and their impact on patient mobilization.

    Main Results:

    • Fracture incidence was 0.10, with nearly half occurring within one year.
    • Key risk factors identified: prosthesis loosening, osteoporosis, varus stem angulation, calcar resorption, capsular calcifications, and cortical defects.
    • Reduced mobilization post-healing, particularly in older patients.
    • Long-stem prostheses with internal fixation yielded earliest mobilization.

    Conclusions:

    • Correct prosthesis insertion is vital to minimize fracture risk.
    • Long-stem prostheses with internal fixation are recommended for optimal post-fracture mobilization.
    • Age and specific risk factors significantly influence recovery and mobilization.
