Swiss registry data on over 32,000 women ≥70 undergoing uncemented THA showed collared stems reduced periprosthetic fracture revision risk by roughly 92% compared to collarless designs.
This systematic review found the Zimmer Biomet Compress device has periprosthetic fracture rates (2.7-3.9% in adults) comparable to or lower than cemented stems, with fractures clustering in the first 2 years and a stable bone-implant interface aiding revision.
In femoral neck fracture arthroplasty, cementless collared metadiaphyseal-filling stems carried higher periprosthetic fracture revision risk than cemented stems, though with lower aseptic loosening revision rates, supporting cemented fixation.
In Dorr C femora treated with collared, fully HA-coated cementless stems via direct anterior approach, lack of collar-calcar bone contact was strongly associated with early periprosthetic fracture and subsidence.
Early periprosthetic femoral fracture within 30 days after THA carries alarmingly high refracture and reoperation rates at 2 years.
What's New in Periprosthetic Femur Fractures?
This symposium review covers current classification, diagnosis, and treatment strategies—including osteosynthesis and revision arthroplasty—for the rising incidence of periprosthetic femur fractures after total hip arthroplasty.
Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures-Beyond B2.
Reviews evidence suggesting periprosthetic femoral fractures around loose polished taper-slip cemented stems (B2) may often be managed successfully with fixation rather than revision arthroplasty, offering shorter surgery and fewer complications.
This review discusses risk factors, diagnosis, and management strategies for intraoperative periprosthetic fractures occurring during primary total knee arthroplasty.
