Revision arthroplasty versus open reduction and internal fixation in Vancouver type B2 and B3 periprosthetic femoral fractures: results from a matched pairs analysis of the registry for geriatric trauma of the DGU®
The results of the present study support the estimate that ORIF represents a valid treatment alternative for Vancouver type B2 and B3 PFFs, as comparable midterm outcomes were demonstrated for each patient group. However, individualized decisions should always be made, especially for multimorbid geriatric patients, to reduce complications.
