Abstract

Forty six periprosthetic femoral fractures adjacent to a hip prosthesis have been retrospectively reviewed. Follow up included chart and radiograph review, Oxford Hip Score and SF-12 Global Function Score. Fractures were treated with internal fixation or revision arthroplasty without the use of allograft.

All the fractures united and functional outcome was good. The mean Oxford Hip Score was 26 and the SF-12 was 33. Complications were related to the severity of the fracture according to the Vancouver classification.

These results and a review of the literature support the ongoing management of periprosthetic femoral fractures without allograft.

The abstracts were prepared by Jean-Claude Theis. Correspondence should be addressed to him at Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Dunedin Hospital, Private Bag 1921, Dunedin, New Zealand.
