PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Cementless stems in highly dysplastic hips are considered to increase the risk of femoral fracture and associated morbidity. Several authors speculated to use prophylactic cabling in this patient group to prevent intraoperative fractures. This study aims to reveal objective results regarding the perioperative complications in a large and consecutive patient group with respect to use of prophylactic cabling. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective comparative study was planned. A total of 122 consecutive patients with dysplastic hips of Crowe type 3 or 4, operated on with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and shortening osteotomy using a rectangular femoral stem were included. Patients were stratified according to use of a diaphyseal prophylactic cerclage cable. Perioperative complications were recorded. Clinical outcome was measured in terms of Harris Hip Score and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. All results were compared between the groups. RESULTS The mean follow-up time was 27 months. Two (2%) versus five (14%) patients had a fracture at the diaphyseal level in cabled versus non-cabled groups. Difference between groups was statistically significant (p=0.01). Relative risk of fracture in case of a non-cabling was 5.8 (p=0.03). Eleven (9%) patients had a non-displaced fracture at the metaphyseal level. No significant differences were detected with respect to preoperative clinical outcome scores or change in these scores between groups. CONCLUSIONS Femoral diaphyseal fracture rates are low when cementless, rectangular stems are used in dysplastic high riding hips. Prophylactic cerclage cabling further decreases the fracture risk and eases treatment in case of a fracture without causing additional complications and therefore is recommended. Key words: intraoperative fracture, periprosthetic fracture, total hip arthroplasty, cerclage cabling, developmental hip dysplasia, transverse shortening osteotomy.

Introduction: The present study compares the outcome of the long cemented stem and the revision uncemented stem used in periprosthetic femoral fractures. We propose that the revision with a long stem cemented prosthesis does not compromise fracture healing. Patients and Methods: A consecutive series of 37 patients, operated between 2010 and 2017, were enrolled in a retrospective analysis. A long cemented stem was implanted in 21 patients (study group; age at operation: 63 to 89 years). A distally tapered fluted uncemented stem was used in 16 patients (control group; age at operation: 35 to 77 years). The clinical outcome was evaluated with Merle d'Aubigné and Postel scoring system. Standard radiographs were taken before surgery, at 3, 6, and 12 months postoperatively, and last follow-up. Any and all complications during the follow-up period were recorded. Results: Although a significant difference (P = 0.006) was observed in the post-operative Merle d´Aubigné score over the 12-month follow-up period, no significant difference (P = 0.066) was found in the post-operative pain score between the study and control groups. Periodic radiographic assessments showed the disappearance of radiolucent lines and the diaphyseal part of the fracture was healed in all 34 followed-up cases during the first annual follow-up. Early surgical complications were seen in both groups, the medical complications were observed only in the study group. Conclusion: Based on our results, periprosthetic fractures of the femur after a total hip arthroplasty were associated with significant morbidity and increased mortality in elderly patients. Revision with a long-stem cemented prosthesis provided early pain-free weight-bearing without compromising the healing of femoral fractures in elderly patients with osteoporotic bone, altered mobility, poor balance, and reduced cognitive capacity.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to assess the mid-term results of this specific ultra-short, cementless stem in patients younger than 60 years with regard to clinical and radiographic outcomes, survivorship, complication rate and revisions. MATERIAL AND METHODS A consecutive series of one hundred and twenty-one patients (130 hips) younger than 60 years at the time of surgery was enrolled in the study. Primary arthritis (33.8%) and dysplastic hips (30%) were the most common diagnoses. The patients used crutches for 6 weeks to protect femoral components against subsidence and rotational stress. The mean follow-up was 118 months (range 96-156 months). RESULTS At the final evaluation, the mean Harris Hip Score was 98.8. A perioperative periprosthetic fracture occurred in two hips and a perioperative ceramic insert breakage was observed in one hip. One hip had ceramic insert fracture 3.5 years postoperatively. In one hip a dislocation occurred. These two hips (1.5%) were revised due to reasons not associated with the stem. One hip has aseptic asymptomatic polyethylene inlay wear. In two hips squeezing was reported. There were two cases of loosening and migration of stems (1.5%) with osteolysis all around the stems. These patients have moderate thigh pain. The radiological survival is 98.5% and the clinical survival is 100% after 10 years on average. DISCUSSION Although improved clinical results were reported in younger patients with standard cementless stems, some problems still prevail: thigh pain, proximal stress shielding, difficult removal of the stem. In an effort to reduce these problems, Proxima ultra-short anatomical cementless stem was developed. Several studies show that this stem design provides good short- and mid- term results, but only in a limited number of patients and relatively short follow-up. Furthermore, the initial fears of early aseptic loosening due to the absence of diaphyseal fixation were not confirmed. CONCLUSIONS Proxima ultra-short anatomical cementless stem provided excellent mid-term clinical and radiographic results in patients younger than 60 years. Key words: total hip arthroplasty, ultra-short cementless anatomical stem.

Periprosthetic femoral fractures around the femoral stem of a hip prosthesis constitute a serious challenge. The number of these fractures, associated with a high failure rate and a high number of overall complications, including higher mortality, has been on an increase worldwide. Stable femoral stems are indicated for osteosynthesis, while in case of loosening the method of choice is the replacement by a revision implant. The aim of osteosynthesis of periprosthetic femoral fractures is a stable fixation with soft tissue preservation which results in faster union allowing the patient to return to pre-injury activities. Biomechanical studies on cadavers or on synthetic models and computer simulations make it possible to evaluate the fixation strength in various types of implants in dependence on fracture characteristics and bone quality, but cannot be substituted for clinical trials since there is no direct proportion between fixation rigidity and fracture union. Fundamental principles that shall be followed in osteosynthesis of periprosthetic fractures can be deduced from the available studies. Proximal fixation by screws or a combination of screws and cables are biomechanically more advantageous than the Ogden fixation by cerclage wires or cables. Bicortical fixation enabled by state-of-the-art implants of LAP-LCP or NCB type represents a significantly more stable construction compared to monocortical fixation and led to reduced use of structural allografts. Better stability can be achieved by "double plating" technique which is applied especially in revision surgeries, but also in osteoporotic periprosthetic fractures with a defect zone. In these cases, osteosynthesis with long plates is recommended, bridging the entire femur, i.e. distally with femoral condyles fixation since this prevents the risk of a fracture below the plate. In shorter plates, this risk created by stress concentration at the end screw is amplified when a distal bicortical locking screw is used. That is why it is beneficial to reduce this stress by a monocortical screw or with the use of a conventional screw. Adherence to the principles regarding the position, type and number of screws constitutes the key parameter of successful osteosynthesis of periprosthetic fractures. Key words: hip joint, arthroplasty, periprosthetic fractures, biomechanics of osteosynthesis.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Periprosthetic distal femoral fractures (PDFF) constitute an unpleasant complication in patients with a total knee replacement (TKR). The incidence reported in literature is 0.3-2.5 %. The number of periprosthetic knee fractures has been increasing due to the ageing of population, a growing number of implants, a longer life expectancy of patients, a more intensive physical activity of patients, and osteoporosis. Most of these fractures are treated surgically, non-surgical treatment is reserved solely for patients unable to undergo a surgery for general health conditions. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our retrospective study evaluated the group of patients with PDFF who were treated at out department in the period 2007- 2016 and 2,975 primary TKR were performed. The total number of patients with PDFF was 56. The mean age of patients with PDFF was 77 years (56-94 years) and at the time of fracture the mean age was 71 years in men and 78 years in women. The average time from the TKR to periprosthetic fracture was 8.2 years (0-20 years). The fractures were assessed using the Su classification modified by Krbec. RESULTS A primary TKR was performed in 46 cases for gonarthrosis, in 6 cases for rheumatoid arthritis and in 4 cases for secondary, post-traumatic gonarthrosis. The average incidence of periprosthetic distal femoral fractures was 5-6 cases per year. Women represented 86 %, men 14 %. Su Type I fracture was diagnosed in 25 % of cases, Su Type II fractures in 71 %, and Su Type III fractures 4 %. 52 patients with PDFF were treated surgically, in 4 cases conservative treatment was opted for. The average treatment time of PDFF to healing by callus formation was 6.6 months (3-12 months). Mortality during the first 3 months after osteosynthesis of PDFF was 9 %. A failure of osteosynthesis of PDFF was reported in 4 cases. DISCUSSION Multiple classification systems were developed to assess these fractures. The most appropriate we consider the classification of Su et al. classifying the PDFF into 3 groups, namely based on the height of the fracture line relative to the femoral component. Osteosynthesis by retrograde femoral nail is indicated for periprosthetic fractures, with sufficient bone mass in distal femur, which allows stable distal fixation. The new generation of anatomically shaped angular stable implants gives us yet another option for osteosynthesis of PDFF. Many studies point at the advantages of these implants in osteoporotic bone as against the conventional plates. CONCLUSIONS The number of PDFF has been increasing. The main methods of internal osteosynthesis continue to be the angular stable plates and the retrograde femoral nail. Preoperative planning is important to determine the type and dimensions of the existing femoral component and to distinguish whether or not it has come loose. The choice of the implant may depend on the bone mass available for distal fixation. The retrograde femoral nail is usually the most suitable method of treatment for proximal PDFF (Su Type I). The angular stable plates can be used for PDFF originating at the femoral component (Su Type II and Type III). Very distal fractures classified as Su Type III with a loose femoral component require a revision surgery with a TKR with stems. The surgeon should be prepared for a revision surgery if the intraoperative finding is more complicated than anticipated based on the preoperative radiograph. Key words:total knee arthroplasty, periprosthetic fracture, osteosynthesis.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The study consists of a retroactive evaluation of results of surgical treatment in patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement and a comparison with results reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHODS In the period from 2003 to 2013, a total of 83 patients with periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip replacement were treated at our clinic, namely 69 women and 14 men. The mean age in the cohort was 74 years (range 47-87). The Vancouver classification was used to grade the fractures. The cohort included 31 patients with type B1 fracture, 25 patients with type B2 fracture, 8 patients with type B3 fracture, and 19 patients with type C fracture. Altogether 80 patients underwent a surgery, 3 patients with non-displaced type B1 fracture were treated conservatively. The mechanism of injury was a simple fall in 75 % of primary endoprostheses and in 56% of revision endoprostheses. The average time to fracture was 7.6 years in primary implant and 3.6 years in revision endoprosthesis. In fractures with a well-fixed stem (type B1 and C) plate osteosynthesis was used. In case of a comminution zone, osteosynthesis was followed by spongioplasty. In patients with a loose stem (type B2 and B3), the fracture was treated with a revision uncemented stem. In two cases a combination of a revision stem and a massive corticocancellous bone graft was used. The evaluation was performed using the Harris Hip Score and the minimum follow-up from the surgery was 3 years. RESULTS In the group of patients with type B1 fracture, 28 patients were treated surgically. An excellent result was achieved in 22 patients (84%), in 4 patients (16%) the result was very good. The remaining 2 patients failed to meet the requirement of the minimum follow-up of 3 years. In the group of patients with type B2 fractures, composed of 25 patients, the femoral component was replaced with a revision uncemented stem with cerclage wires or titanium tapes or cables. Osseointegration of the stem was recorded in 24 patients, one female patient died 4 months after the surgery. An excellent result was achieved in 16 patients (64%), a very good result in 4 patients (16%). The remaining 5 patients (20%) failed to meet the minimum follow-up of 3 years. In 8 patients with type B3 trauma, the reimplant of a revision stem was supplemented by spongioplasty, in 2 cases by solid corticocancellous bone grafts with cerclage. In this group osseointegration occurred in all the cases within 6-9 months. The follow-up was affected by the older age of patients and 6 patients died during the follow-up period. The requirement of a follow-up longer than 3 years was met in 2 patients (25%) only and the result was considered very good. In the group of 19 patients with type C fracture, plate osteosynthesis was performed, which was in 12 cases complemented with spongioplasty. Healing occurred within 6 months in 13 patients (72%), within 9 months in 3 patients (17%) and in 2 patients (11%) reoperation was carried out due to fixation failure. One female patient died 16 days after the surgery. An excellent result was achieved in 15 patients (83%), in the remaining three patients the follow-up was shorter than three years due to their death. DISCUSSION Periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip replacement is a rare but feared complication. Its incidence ranges from 0.1 to 4%. It occurs most frequently 7 to 8 years after the primary implant and 3 to 4 years after the revision of endoprosthesis implantation. The main risk factor is the loosening of stem of endoprosthesis. Another risk factor is osteoporosis. Age, sex and obesity do not constitute significant risk factors. Stem stability and presence of bone defects are the main criteria in favour of surgical treatment. If the stem remains well fixed, the osteosynthesis is opted for, whereas if the stem is loose, its replacement has to be performed. The management of bone defects is an integral part of femoral reconstruction and restoration of endoprosthesis stability. CONCLUSIONS Surgical treatment of periprosthetic fractures, thanks to the introduction of new implants for osteosynthesis and development of new stems for revision endoprostheses, helps achieve ever better results. Of major importance for choosing the treatment method is correct classification of fracture and stem stability. Poor bone quality is a common feature, therefore a perfect mechanical fixation is necessary. The long-term results are affected primarily by the patient s age. Key words: periprosthetic femoral fractures, surgical treatment, results, complications.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To give a description of the patient group, risk factors, classification, therapeutic procedures and treatment outcomes in periprosthetic femoral fractures after total hip arthroplasty treated in the Trauma Hospital in Brno. MATERIAL AND METHODS This retrospective study comprised of 51 patients treated for a periprosthetic femoral fracture between 2003 and 2013. This included 19 (37%) intra-operative and 32 (63%) post-operative fractures. According to the Vancouver classification, the types of fractures were as follows: 9 patients A; 21 B1; 9 B2; 6 B3 and 6 with type C. RESULTS Type A fractures were treated conservatively. Although pseudoarthrosis of the greater trochanter occurred, the patients had no clinical problems. The intra-operative type B1 fractures were managed by cerclage tapes in nine patients and the post-operative B1 fractures were treated by plate osteosynthesis in 10 patients and femoral stem reimplantation in two patients. All post-operative type B2 and type B3 fractures were managed by reimplantation of the femoral stem and type C fractures were treated by plate osteosynthesis. Serious complications requiring revision surgery were recorded in five patients; they included plate failure in two B1 fractures, dislocation of a B2 fracture, a dislocation with femoral component rotation in a B3 fracture and failure of the plate in a type C fracture. CONCLUSIONS The treatment of a periprosthetic fracture can affect the patient's life. In view of the fracture type, implant type, general health of the patient and all risk factors, the authors prefer one-stage surgical treatment. The Vancouver classification is a guidleine for the therapeutic plan. Osteosynthesis as a single procedure is indicated only if the femoral component is stable and well fixed. When the stem in B2 and B3 fractures is loose, revision surgery with stem replacement is necessary. Key words: periprosthetic fracture, total hip atrhroplasty, Vancouver classification.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Clinical results of long-term follow-up after traumatic periprosthetic femur fractures and different therapies (ORIF vs. revision arthroplasty) MATERIAL AND METHODS The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Harris-Hip-Score (HHS), Oxford-Hip-Score (OHS), Oxford-Knee-Score (OKS), Knee-Society-Score (KSS), SF-36 Questionnaire and Funktionsfragebogen Hannover (FFH) were used to evaluate outcome and functionality. Radiological examinations were performed and the Vancouver (THA) and Lewis and Rorabeck (TKA) classifications used. RESULTS 70 patients suffered a periprosthetic hip fracture (29× revision prosthesis, 41x ORIF), 23 patients underwent an ORIF due to periprosthetic fracture of a TKA (total mean age 75.2 years). 47 patients (follow-up rate 51%) were examined 40 months after surgery (mean age 72 years) (THA: 16× revision, 23× ORIF, TKA: 8× ORIF). The VAS revealed significant less pain in the group that had undergone revision hip arthroplasty than in the ORIF group: 3.9±1 vs. 5.1±1.7 (p<0.05), respectively. 5/16 patients with revision arthroplasty had excellent or good results in the HSS compared to 3/23 patients after ORIF. The OHS yielded excellent or good results in 12/16 patients after revision arthroplasty vs. 10/23 after ORIF. The VAS after ORIF in patients who suffered periprosthetic knee fractures was 4.9±2.1. 3/8 patients achieved excellent or good results according to the OKS. CONCLUSION Every functional score (HSS, OHS, FFH, SF-36) of those patients who had undergone revision arthroplasty was slightly higher and their VAS significantly lower than the scores of the patients after ORIF. Key words: periprosthetic fractures, trauma, open reduction and internal fixation, revision arthroplasty.
