Treatment

A
|
Fracture in trochanteric region
|
Commonly associated with osteolysis and often requires treatment
that addresses the osteolysis. Consider ORIF in displaced fractures.
|
B1
|
Fracture around stem or just below it with a well fixed stem
|
ORIF using cerclage cables and locking plates
|
B2
|
Fracture around stem or just below it, loose stem, but good proximal
bone stock
|
Revision of the femoral component to a long porous-coated cementless
stems
and fixation of the fracture fragment. Revision of the acetabular
component if indicate
|
B3
|
Fracture around stem or just below with proximal bone that is poor
quality or severely comminuted
|
Femoral component revision
with
proximal femoral allograft
or
proximal femoral replacement
|
C
|
Fracture occurs well below the prosthesis
|
ORIF with plate
- leave the hip and acetabular prosthesis alone
