The Impact of Bone Cement on Bone Healing in Revision Hip Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Femur Fractures and Cortical Osteotomies
Source: Cureus
It is widely acknowledged that bone cement may infiltrate the fracture site during the implantation of a cemented hip stem for a periprosthetic fracture, potentially leading to non-union. This study sought to examine this hypothesis through a radiological analysis of patients who underwent cemented femoral stem implantation to stabilize a periprosthetic femur fracture or after a cortical osteotomy for stem extraction.
