Femoral fracture following hip arthroplasty

H O Fredin et al. Acta Orthop Scand. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

In 1,961 primary total hip arthroplasties performed during a 14-year period, 11 proximal ipsilateral femoral fractures occurred postoperatively. Seven were located distally to the tip of the femoral stem; none was a comminuted fracture. Six of the fractures were primarily revised with a long-stem prosthesis. The results after 5(1-8) years were good.
