Background: Intraoperative femoral fractures are well-known but often overlooked complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA). We examined outcomes of cerclage cabling for intraoperative calcar cracks in THA with cementless tapered wedge stems.
Methods: In total, 4928 primary THAs were performed using broach-only, tapered wedge stems between January 2007 and November 2017 in a single institution.
