Abstract
Periprosthetic fracture around a femoral component is a potentially devastating complication after total hip arthroplasty. Surgical treatment is often technically demanding and requires a thorough understanding of fracture care and revision joint reconstruction. Advancements in femoral component designs for revision total hip arthroplasty have improved management of this challenging complication. It is important for surgeons to understand which femoral component design might best suit their needs. We present an overview of revision total hip arthroplasty in the setting of periprosthetic fracture, focusing on comparing the 2 most popular femoral component revision models, the modular and monolithic tapered fluted conical prostheses.
