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 …

There is currently a debate on whether all Vancouver B2 periprosthetic hip fractures should
be revised. The aim of our work was to establish a decision-making algorithm that helps to …

Biomechanics of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the areas where physiology,
engineering, and physics meet. In this article, we will cover biomechanical impacts of …

Background: Periprosthetic fractures are a well-documented, serious complication of joint
arthroplasty, occurring in up to 11% of hip replacements. We examined periprosthetic …

Background Periprosthetic femoral fracture is a severe complication of total hip arthroplasty.
A previous review published in 2011 summarised the biomechanical studies regarding …

Background The purpose of this study was to introduce the surgical technique using long
locking plate and locking attachment plate (LAP) in patient with periprosthetic femoral …

Background Due to increasing volume of total hip arthroplasties, periprosthetic femoral
fractures have become a common complication with increased revision burden and …

Periprosthetic fractures (PPFs) present unique challenges to orthopaedic surgeons in terms
of limited cortical fixation options, poor bone quality, cement mantles, and stress risers …

Background Periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF) is one of the most common indications for
reoperation following total hip arthroplasty. Methods/Results This article provides a review of …

Introduction The incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures around total hip arthroplasties
is increasing. Fractures around a stable implant stem (Vancouver type B1) are among the …
