“…Our satisfactory results were achieved by adequate surgical stabilisation using a longer stemmed prosthesis and ASIF plates when necessary [11]. Cerclage wiring alone produced one poor result in the two cases in which it was used.…”

“…Intraoperative hip fractures have been reported to be a complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA), with the incidence of fractures ranging from 0.4 [21] to 1.8% [24] in cemented THA. In uncemented arthroplasty, with "fit and fill" techniques, the effort by surgeons to obtain a press fit in the femoral component has been found to increase the incidence of intraoperative fracture, with several studies reporting fracture incidences of between 3 and 13% [1,8,9,13,15,17,25].…”

The incidence of intraoperative femoral fractures with a single design of stem implant, the Meridian (StrykerHowmedica, Rutherford, N.J.), has been assessed in a study of 117 implants in patients treated consecutively between 1996 and 2001. The aim of the study was to evaluate the risk factors for suffering an intraoperative fracture and to determine, based on a short-term follow-up, if there were radiographic signs of early loosening. The following variables were analysed: demographic factors of the patient, morphology of the femur, intraoperative factors and postoperative radiographic factors. The radiographic stability of the implant and the presence of early signs of loosening were evaluated 2 years after surgery. The incidence of femoral fractures was 11% (13 cases in 117 implants), which is higher that reported in earlier published studies, and there was an increased number of fractures when the proximal filling of the femoral canal was higher. Although there was no statistically significant relation between the variables studied and the appearance of an intraoperative fracture, we conclude that the appearance of a femoral intraoperative fracture did not affect the radiographic stability of the implant during the short-term follow-up of our study cohort.

“…richtet, die alle ohne wesentliche Komplikationen ausheilten und nicht zu einer erhöhten Morbidität führten [4]. Andere Autoren [29,30] Schlussfolgerung ! Auch nach dem Auftreten intraoperativer Vancouver-A-oder -B1-Fraktur scheint der zementfreie BiCONTACT-Primärschaft mittelfristig zu vergleichbaren postoperativen Ergebnissen zu füh-ren wie bei Implantationen ohne Frakturkomplikationen.…”
