Abstract:Femoral neck prostheses have been developed for the treatment of osteoarthritis in young and active patients. The concept combines a bone-conserving and minimal invasive technique with proximal load transferring by metaphyseal anchoring, which results in a more physiological loading pattern. However, little is known about the morphology of periprosthetic fractures. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe fracture patterns and to determine patient-specific factors favoring periprosthetic fracture. This stud… Show more
