Objectives

To examine patient mortality, implant survivorship, and complication profiles of proximal femoral replacement (PFR) as compared to revision total hip arthroplasty (REV) or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) in the treatment of acute periprosthetic fractures of the proximal femur.

Methods

We performed a retrospective controlled chart review at our tertiary center from from 2000–2010, identifying 97 consecutive acute periprosthetic proximal femoral fractures. Patients were stratified into three treatment groups: PFR (n=21), REV (n=19), and ORIF (n=57). Primary outcome measures included death, implant failure, and reoperation. We also recorded patient demographics, medical comorbidities, fracture type, treatment duration, time to treatment, and complication profiles. Statistical analyis included competing risks survival, which allows independent survival analysis of competing failure mechanisms such as death and implant failure.
