The number of total hip replacements taking place across the UK continues to grow. In an ageing population, with people living longer and placing greater strain on their prostheses, the number of peri-prosthetic femoral fractures is increasing. We studied the economic impact this has on a large university teaching hospital. All patients with a peri-prosthetic femoral fracture between 24/11/2006 and 31/5/2014 were identified using theatre databases. Radiographic and case note analysis was performed for each case. Costings from finance department for implants and in-patient stay were obtained.Introduction
