Article Synopsis
- The paper analyzes the increasing incidence of hip periprosthetic fractures (PPF), specifically focusing on Vancouver type B1 fractures treated with osteosynthesis at a hospital over a three-year period.
- It includes a retrospective study of 37 patients, primarily elderly, detailing their demographics, type of implant used, complications encountered, and functional outcomes measured by the Harris Hip Score.
- The results show a high survival rate among patients, with a mean time to fracture union of approximately 10 weeks but also highlight complications such as infections and the need for blood transfusions during surgery.
