Periprosthetic fractures with extensive bone loss treated with onlay strut allografts

Abstract: We reviewed a consecutive series of 19 patients with comminuted periprosthetic fractures, loosening of the femoral stem (Vancouver type B3) and significant loss of bone stock (Paprosky type III and IV). Sixteen porous-coated long stems and three Exeter stems, all with impaction grafting, were used. Large femoral onlay strut allografts were applied to maintain fracture reduction and improve stability. There was one early refracture at the tip of the femoral stem. Eighteen fractures healed without deformity and … Show more

“…In their cohort, the mean Harris Hip and WOMAC scores were similar to our results. In the literature, after such revisions, the time for full weight-bearing mobilization of patients has been shown between three and seven months [23,36]. We allowed full weight-bearing mobilization in the second month without waiting for a complete union.…”

“…Cases of failure of hip arthroplasty and periprosthetic fractures frequently evolve with diminution of the femoral bone stock, thus making their treatment a challenge for hip surgeons 1 , 2 . A variety of treatment options have been reported in the literature, and among these is the use of cortical structural homologous bone grafts, which has become an attractive method in selected cases 3 , 13 , 16 .…”

“…Barden et al (16) evaluated 19 patients with periprosthetic factures and significant bone loss that were treated with structural homologous bone grafts, with a mean follow-up of 3.7 years. Consolidation occurred in all the cases, with an increase in the femoral bone stock.…”
