Periprosthetic Fractures

Periprosthetic Fractures

Periprosthetic Fractures are fractures that occur in the bone surrounding a joint replacement or orthopedic implant. These fractures can involve the femur or tibia around a hip or knee implant, respectively. Periprosthetic fractures are often associated with conditions like osteoporosis, trauma, or implant-related factors. These fractures pose unique challenges in management due to the presence of prosthetic implants, requiring careful consideration of the type of implant, the stability of the fracture, and the patient's overall health. Treatment options may include surgical fixation using plates, screws, or revision of the implant. Prevention involves addressing modifiable risk factors, optimizing bone health, and considering the use of implants designed to minimize stress on the surrounding bone. Periprosthetic fractures are more common as the population ages and undergoes joint replacement surgeries, making their effective management and prevention crucial in the field of orthopaedics.
