Summary

The general predisposing factors are female sex and osteoporosis. The local predisposing factor is loosening of the stem.

As expected type III fractures are more frequent in case of osteoporosis (notion of elasticity gap) and fractures type II and I in case of loosening (notion of bone stock).

Résumé

Les facteurs favorisants généraux sont le sexe féminin, l’ostéopathie fragilisante. Le facteur favorisant local est le descellement. De façon logique, les fractures de type III sont plus fréquentes en cas d’ostéopathie fragilisante (notion de gradient d’élasticité) et les fractures de types II et I en cas de descellement (notion de stock osseux).
