Moreta J, Uriarte I, Bidea I, et al. - This study was attempted to assess the morbidity and mortality following periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) after total hip arthroplasty and explore risk factors for mortality and compare outcomes by the method of treatment. Between 2016 and 2017, researchers performed a multicenter retrospective study of all PFFs after total hip arthroplasty. Data were obtained on ASA score, Charlson comorbidity index, type of fracture, method of treatment, the timing of surgery, length of stay, systemic and local complications, and mortality. They assessed a total of 107 patients and their mean age was 81 years old. Despite modern surgical techniques and multidisciplinary management, the outcomes of this study indicate the ambulatory status impairment and high rate of complications and mortality after PFF. A higher mortality rate within the first month was found, although the mortality rate during the first year was similar to that observed in other studies on PFFs.
