Background: Periprosthetic femur fracture (PFF) is one of the most common indications for reoperation following total hip arthroplasty.
Methods/results: This article provides a review of a symposium on PFF that was presented at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons 2023 annual meeting, including an overview of the Vancouver classification and its implications on treatment and subsequent complications, an updated approach to the management of intraoperative fractures, and finally, contemporary strategies for both osteosynthesis as well as revision arthroplasty for PFFs.
Conclusion: As the incidence of PPF continues to increase, arthroplasty and trauma surgeons must be prepared to address this challenging complication with a contemporary understanding of the treatment options and their outcomes.

Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) has proved to be a successful surgical procedure, both prosthetic and bone impingement resulting in dislocation continue to occur. Studies have shown that spine pathology resulting in lumbar stiffness and hip arthritis often coexist. Spinopelvic mobility patterns during postural changes affect three-dimensional acetabular component position, which affects the incidence of prosthetic impingement and THA instability.
