Evaluation of Variables Influencing Mortality in Periprosthetic Femur Fractures: Do Fracture Type and Surgical Method Affect Mortality?

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Periprosthetic fractures are linked to high mortality rates.In a recent study, periprosthetic hip fractures were found to carry a similar mortality risk to that of femoral neck fractures in elderly patients.However, the risk appears to decrease after the first six months following surgery, with a reported 1-year mortality rate of 9.7% (8).Another study found that the overall complication rate for PFFs within 30 days after surgery was 45% (22% serious and 13% mild), with a 30-day mortality rate of 10% (9).
