Periprosthetic fractures around chronically infected total hip arthroplasties: a case series and pragmatic two-stage treatment framework
Abstract. Three periprosthetic femoral fractures around chronically infected total hip arthroplasties (THAs) were treated according to a pragmatic two-stage treatment framework. Infection control and fracture healing were achieved. This may serve as a reference for surgeons confronted with these complex and technically demanding situations.
