AI Article Synopsis

  • The rising number of hip arthroplasties in Morocco is leading to an increase in periprosthetic fractures, creating challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the lack of a standardized treatment protocol.
  • The study analyzed the management of these fractures by examining 19 patients treated in a trauma-orthopedics department over seven years, with a majority being older women and specific fracture classifications highlighted.
  • Results showed successful outcomes for all patients with individualized treatment plans, emphasizing the need for tailored approaches in managing these complex cases.

Article Abstract

Introduction: The increase in hip arthroplasties predicts a rise in periprosthetic fractures in Morocco, posing challenges for orthopedic surgeons. Therapeutic strategies vary considerably, highlighting the absence of a universally accepted treatment protocol.

Aim: To analyze the management of per-prosthetic hip fractures, while addressing the challenges associated with them.

Methods: This was a retrospective study, conducted in the trauma-orthopedics department between December 2015 and November 2022. Nineteen patients who presented to the hospital with fractures around a hip prosthesis were included.

Result: Nineteen periprosthetic fractures were observed. The majority of patients (68%) were women, with an average age of 68. The Vancouver classification showed that 52.6% of the fractures were type B1, and 21.1% type C, while the other fracture types were distributed differently. These fractures were mainly associated with diagnoses such as femoral neck fracture (63.2%) and coxarthrosis (31.6%). We observed variations in treatment recommendations and results between the different series analyzed. We noted discrepancies with certain series concerning fracture types and therapeutic choices. However, in our series, we achieved satisfactory results, with successful consolidation and the absence of complications in all patients.

Conclusion: These results underline the importance of an individualized approach to fracture management, taking into account the specificities of each case.
