Background: Hip periprosthetic fractures (PPF) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) are becoming increasingly prevalent. Their management is secondary to the fracture type and the stability of the implant. This study aimed to provide the outcomes of operatively managed PPF from a high-volume centre to help guide future decision making.

Mortality has been reported up to 34% at 1-year. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) and 1-year mortality, complication rate, and length of stay (LOS) in surgically managed hip PPFs.

Methods: The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines.
Introduction: Popliteal tendon impingement (PTI) is an under-recognized cause of persistent pain following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of the systematic review was to summarize and outline successful strategies in the diagnosis and management of PTI.
Methods: A systematic review following the PRISMA guidelines was performed for four databases: MEDLINE (Pubmed), Ovid EMBASE, Web of Science, and Cochrane Database.
Article Synopsis
- Young women aged 15-45 undergoing total hip replacements are more likely to need revision surgery compared to older women over 75.
- 12% to 17% of women of childbearing age with a hip replacement will become pregnant, and while some experience pain during pregnancy, most do not face complications related to pregnancy.
- Limited studies show that having a hip replacement does not increase the risk of pregnancy complications or revision rates, regardless of the delivery method used.
