The management and treatment of peri-prosthetic fractures around both total hip and hemiarthroplasty

Abstract: Peri-prosthetic fractures are an increasingly common phenomenon. They are associated with a high mortality, morbidity and economic burden. We reviewed the literature and look at historical aspects, risk factors, clinical assessment, classification and management of peri-prosthetic fractures around the hip. This article is intended to provide an overview to enable safe initial management of peri-prosthetic fractures and insight into definitive treatment.
