Abstract

The overall incidence of different types of periprosthetic fractures is on rise mainly due to increasing number of primary joint arthroplasties and revision arthroplasties. Both increasing implantation numbers of total hip replacements and demographic change with higher populations of older people, indicate that there will be an increase in periprosthetic fractures in near future. We present our experience in a case of post traumatic periprosthetic Vancouver type B fracture after hemiarthroplasty treated with Hook plate and Cables.
