Abstract

PERIPROSTHETIC HIP FRACTURE: ORIF VS REVISION SURGERY
Femoral periprosthetic fractures in hip surgery still represent a difficult surgical procedure and a secure optimal
treatment has not been found yet. Great help is provided by the development of commonly used classifications such as
the Vancouver classification and the recent Unified Classification System (UCS), which introduce clearer fracture
patterns with the respective surgical indications. The most discussed pattern is related to category B of both
classifications in which, despite the use of established treatment paradigms, results are poor or otherwise
unpredictable. This study reviews the literature related to the analysis of fractures and its following treatment.
