  1. Collared, Uncemented Stems Markedly Reduce Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Risk in Women ≥ 70 Years: A Swiss National Registry Study.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Aug 24 2026 · PubMed

    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.

  2. Postoperative periprosthetic fractures associated with compressive osseointegration: a systematic review of the Zimmer Biomet Compress® device.

    Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery · Aug 22 2026 · PubMed

    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.

  3. Increased Risk of Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture with Cementless Collared Metadiaphyseal-Filling Stems Compared to Cemented Fixation for Femoral Neck Fractures in Patients Aged 65 Years or Older: An American Joint Replacement Registry Analysis.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Aug 19 2026 · PubMed

    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.

  4. Collar-Calcar Contact Reduces Risk for Early Periprosthetic Fracture and Subsidence in Dorr Type C Femora Using Collared, Fully Hydroxyapatite-Coated, Cementless Stems.

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Jul 22 2026 · PubMed

    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.

  5. Alarmingly High Rates of Complications and Refracture Among Patients with Early Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Within 30 Days After THA.

    Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery (American) · Jun 22 2026 · PubMed

    Early periprosthetic femoral fracture within 30 days after THA carries alarmingly high refracture and reoperation rates at 2 years.

  6. What's New in Periprosthetic Femur Fractures?

    Journal of Arthroplasty · Sep 2024 · Review · PubMed

    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.

  7. Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures-Beyond B2.

    JAAOS Global Research & Reviews · Aug 01 2024 · Review · PubMed

    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.

  8. Diagnosis and Management of Intraoperative Periprosthetic Fractures in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty.

    Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons · Oct 01 2023 · Review · PubMed

    This review discusses risk factors, diagnosis, and management strategies for intraoperative periprosthetic fractures occurring during primary total knee arthroplasty.
