The Vancouver classification is still a useful tool of communication and stratification of
periprosthetic fractures, but besides the three parameters it considers, clinicians should also …

Aims Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) around cemented taper-slip femoral prostheses often
result in a femoral component that is loose at the prosthesis-cement interface, but where the …

Aims The aim of this study was to compare open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) with
revision surgery for the surgical management of Unified Classification System (UCS) type B …

Aims The aim of this study was to determine whether fixation, as opposed to revision
arthroplasty, can be safely used to treat reducible Vancouver B type fractures in association …

Aims This study evaluates risk factors influencing fracture characteristics for postoperative
periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) around cemented stems in total hip arthroplasty …

Background Periprosthetic fractures are increasingly encountered in hip arthroplasty. The
Vancouver classification system is widely used. Little knowledge exists regarding the …

Aims Vancouver type B periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFF) are challenging complications
after total hip arthroplasty (THA), and some treatment controversies remain. The objectives …

Polished taper-slip (PTS) cemented stems have an excellent clinical track record and are the
most common stem type used in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the UK. Due to low …

Objectives: The incidence of periprosthetic femur fracture in the setting of total hip
arthroplasty is steadily increasing. Although the traditional dogma is that loose femoral …

Purpose Several studies comparing osteosynthesis and stem revision in Vancouver B2
(VB2) periprosthetic hip fractures (PPHF) have been published. This work aims to be the first …
