Abstract
The number of femoral fractures after hip arthroplasty has increased proportionally to the number of hip arthroplasties. Eleven university-orthopaedic centers in eastern France co-operated to review 250 femoral fractures in relation to hip prothesis. This is the largest published review. The aims of this retrospective study were: - an epidemiologic study of the predisposing factors of these fractures, - to define a protocol of therapeutic indications.
