Background: The number of patients presenting with periprosthetic hip fractures has increased in recent decades. Methods: Patients who underwent hip revision arthroplasty procedures for Vancouver type B2 and B3 fractures between 2010 and 2021 were included. The primary intended outcome of this study was to determine the reintervention-free survival rate. The secondary intended outcome was to determine clinical and radiographic assessment outcomes at the time of follow-up, and the correlation between time to surgery and postoperative Harris hip score (HHS). Results: A total of 49 patients with mean age of 71.2 ± 2.3 (37-88) years old were included. Overall, the Kaplan-Meier method estimated a survival rate of 95.8% (CI 84.2% to 98.9%) at one year, 91.1% (CI 77.9% to 96.6%) at two years, and 88.5% (CI 74.4% to 95.1%) at three, and up to 10, years. The mean limb length discrepancy (LLD) improved from -13.3 ± 10.5 (range -39 to +10) mm at the preoperative stage to -1.16 ± 6.7 (range -17 to +15) mm, p < 0.001 postoperative. The mean HHS improved from 31.1 ± 7.7 (range 10 to 43) preoperative to 85.5 ± 14.8 (range 60 to 100), p < 0.001 postoperative. Postoperative HHS was not affected by preoperative time to surgery. Conclusions: Revision arthroplasty is an effective treatment for Vancouver type B2 and B3 fractures.

Abstract

Background: The number of patients presenting with periprosthetic hip fractures has increased in recent decades. Methods: Patients who underwent hip revision arthroplasty procedures for Vancouver type B2 and B3 fractures between 2010 and 2021 were included. The primary intended outcome of this study was to determine the reintervention-free survival rate. The secondary intended outcome was to determine clinical and radiographic assessment outcomes at the time of follow-up, and the correlation between time to surgery and postoperative Harris hip score (HHS). Results: A total of 49 patients with mean age of 71.2 ± 2.3 (37-88) years old were included. Overall, the Kaplan-Meier method estimated a survival rate of 95.8% (CI 84.2% to 98.9%) at one year, 91.1% (CI 77.9% to 96.6%) at two years, and 88.5% (CI 74.4% to 95.1%) at three, and up to 10, years. The mean limb length discrepancy (LLD) improved from -13.3 ± 10.5 (range -39 to +10) mm at the preoperative stage to -1.16 ± 6.7 (range -17 to +15) mm, p < 0.001 postoperative. The mean HHS improved from 31.1 ± 7.7 (range 10 to 43) preoperative to 85.5 ± 14.8 (range 60 to 100), p < 0.001 postoperative. Postoperative HHS was not affected by preoperative time to surgery. Conclusions: Revision arthroplasty is an effective treatment for Vancouver type B2 and B3 fractures.
