Abstract

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) offers a considerable problem in managing periprosthetic fractures surrounding the femoral stem, and the best course of treatment is still debatable. The patient's profile, the ideal fixation mechanism, the decision-making and surgical planning, the reduction strategies, and the construct configuration all provide complex situations for periprosthetic fractures surrounding the hip after THAs. Studies show that advantages of cementless total hip arthroplasty include that they offer a better long-term bond between the prostheses and bones. The preferred treatment for periprosthetic fractures with evident or subtle clinical symptoms of femoral implant failure or challenging fracture patterns is revision THA with stem exchange.
