Predictors of outcomes after internal fixation of periprosthetic femoral hip fractures Subgroup analysis of the peri-implant and peri-prosthetic fractures Spanish registry (PIPPAS).

Purpose: To identify risk factors predisposing patients to poor outcomes after fixation of periprosthetic hip fractures around femoral stems.

Methods: Prospective multicentre cohort study of fractures around a hip replacement stem managed by internal fixation. The primary outcome was one-year mortality, while secondary outcomes were local complications and healthcare burden-related outcomes (nursing facility utilization and hospital length of stay).

[There is no difference in clinical outcomes in patients with distal Neer II and Neer V clavicle fractures treated with or without coracoclavicular augmentation systems].

Introduction: the use of coracoclavicular augmentation systems together with locking plates in the treatment of unstable distal clavicle fractures (Neer II and Neer V) is controversial.

Material And Methods: patients with unstable distal clavicle fractures treated between 2013-2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The patients were divided into two groups: patients treated with locking plates (P group) and patients treated with locking plates and coracoclavicular augmentation systems (PCC group).
