Internal fixation versus revision arthroplasty for Vancouver B2-B3 fractures: mortality and functional outcomes in frail patients. Insights from the PIPPAS study of 485 patients.
Periprosthetic femoral fractures following hip arthroplasty (FH-PPF) represent a severe complication, especially in elderly patients with compromised health. Traditionally, revision arthroplasty is recommended for B2-B3 FH-PPF, yet internal fixation has emerged as a debated alternative in select pat...

| Sumario: | Periprosthetic femoral fractures following hip arthroplasty (FH-PPF) represent a severe complication, especially in elderly patients with compromised health. Traditionally, revision arthroplasty is recommended for B2-B3 FH-PPF, yet internal fixation has emerged as a debated alternative in select patients. The hypothesis was that fixation, in selected patients with B2-B3 FH-PPF, decreases mortality and surgical complication rates with the same functional outcomes as revision arthroplasty. |
