Purpose

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of modular revision stems, uncemented fluted, tapered to treat periprosthetic femoral (PFF) fracture; we specifically evaluated fracture union, implant stability, patient outcomes, and complications to compare the differences between cemented and cementless primary stem.

Materials and Methods

We retrospectively reviewed 56 cases of unstable periporsthetic femoral fracture (forty B2 and sixteen B3) treated with the uncemented fluted and tapered modular distal fixation stem with or with or without autogenous bone graft. Clinical outcomes were assessed with Harris Hip Score and WOMAC score. Radiologic evaluations were conducted using Beals and Tower's criteria. Any complication during the follow-up period was recorded.
