A Rare Case of Periprosthetic Fracture with Fracture of Femoral Stem around a Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty.

Introduction: The incidence of periprosthetic fractures (PPF) around a total hip arthroplasty continues to increase with the rise in number of arthroplasties performed. However, fracture of the femoral stem has become very rare since the development of modern prosthetic designs. We present a rare case of an 80-year-old man who sustained a periprosthetic femur fracture with a fracture of the femoral stem component around a bipolar hemiarthroplasty.
