Aims

The prevalence of ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rising in concert with life expectancy, putting more patients at risk for interprosthetic femur fractures (IPFFs). Our study aimed to assess treatment methodologies, implant survivorship, and IPFF clinical outcomes.

Methods

A total of 76 patients treated for an IPFF from February 1985 to April 2018 were reviewed. Prior to fracture, at the hip/knee sites respectively, 46 femora had primary/primary, 21 had revision/primary, three had primary/revision, and six had revision/revision components. Mean age and BMI were 74 years (33 to 99) and 30 kg/m2 (21 to 46), respectively. Mean follow-up after fracture treatment was seven years (2 to 24).

Introduction

The prevalence of ipsilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is rising in concert with life expectancy, putting more patients at risk for interprosthetic femur fractures (IPFF). Our study aimed to assess treatment methodologies, implant survivorship, and clinical outcomes of patients with IPFF.

Methods

77 patients treated for an IPFF from 1985–2017 at a single large referral center were reviewed. Prior to the fracture, at the hip/knee sites respectively 46 femurs had primary/primary, 21 had revision/primary, 3 had primary/revision and 7 had revision/revision components. Mean age and BMI were 74 years and 30 kg/m2, respectively. Mean follow-up after fracture treatment was 7 years.
