Abstract
Periprosthetic femur fractures are one of the most severe complications of total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to assess outcomes of periprosthetic femur fractures based on the Vancouver classifications of fractures. Sixty-four patients were enrolled into the study. Type B1 fractures were the most common - 33 cases. In comparison to patients with type B3 fracture, patients with type B1 fracture significantly less often experienced postoperative pain. Study shown that in the context of both objective outcomes of the operation and patient satisfaction, the most unfavourable prognosis is after type B3.
