“…Postoperative fracture risk, on the contrary, is independent of age or gender, but still seems to rise with uncemented stems [9,10]. However, findings from a more recent study suggests comparable occurrence of postoperative PPFs at 5 years for both cemented and uncemented implants, implying an ongoing controversy on this matter [12].…”

Background: Due to an increase in total hip arthroplasties (THAs), the incidence of periprosthetic hip fractures (PPHFs) is forecast to rise considerably in the next decades, with Vancouver B1 fractures (VB1) accounting for one third of total cases. Femur fixation with cerclages (with or without screws) is considered the current treatment option for intraoperative VB1. Methods: The study retrospectively includes data from patients who developed VB1 PPHFs during THAs from 3 December 2020 to 30 November 2022. The primary outcome of this study was to identify the reintervention-free survival rate. The secondary aim was to determine clinical and radiographic assessment at follow-up, based on Harris hip score (HHS) and limb length discrepancy (LLD). Results: Thirty-seven patients with a mean age of 60.03 ± 15.49 (22 to 77) years old were included. Overall, the Kaplan–Meier analysis estimated a reoperation-free survival rate of 99% (CI 95%) at 6 months. The mean limb length discrepancy (LLD) improved from −3.69 ± 6.07 (range −27.9 to 2.08) mm to 0.10 ± 0.67 (range −1.07 to 1.20) mm. The mean HHS improved from 42.72 ± 14.37 (range 21.00–96.00) to 94.40 ± 10.32 (range 56.00–100.00). Conclusions: The employment of cerclage wires represents an effective strategy for handling intraoperative VB1 fractures. Level III retrospective cohort study.
