Impaction bone grafting and cemented stem revision in periprosthetic hip fractures: a novel surgical technique

Hip Int. 2014 Mar-Apr;24(2):210-2. doi: 10.5301/hipint.5000094. Epub 2013 Oct 23.

Abstract

With an ageing population, and increasing longevity of hip arthroplasty prostheses, the incidence of periprosthetic femoral fractures is rising. We present a simple and easily reproducible technique for reduction of any periprosthetic fracture that requires bone graft augmentation. This method facilitates impaction bone grafting to reconstitute lost bone stock and revision using a cemented implant.
