Abstract

As life expectancies increase around the world, so too does the prevalence of hip arthritis. Furthermore, due to the ever-increasing demands that we place on our bodies, we are also seeing a higher incidence of arthritis in younger patients. In this regard, total hip arthroplasty has become an increasingly popular and highly effective method of treating both the pain and disability associated with this condition. Unfortunately, an otherwise excellent result from a hip replacement can be compromised by any number of complications, not the least of which is a periprosthetic fracture. A review of the literature suggests that the prevalence of periprosthetic fractures associated with total hip replacement is increasing [1]. They can occur both intraoperatively and postoperatively, and involve either the acetabulum or femur.
