Abstract
In 1,961 primary total hip arthroplasties performed during a 14-year period, 11 proximal ipsilateral femoral fractures occurred postoperatively. Seven were located distally to the tip of the femoral stem; none was a comminuted fracture. Six of the fractures were primarily revised with a long-stem prosthesis. The results after 5 (1-8) years were good.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
