Overview

Retrospective analysis identified female gender as a key risk factor for periprosthetic fractures, suggesting further studies on treatment approaches.

Key Points

  • The incidence of periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty is 0.42%, predominantly affecting female patients.
  • Mean bone mineral density was -1.78, but it did not correlate with fracture severity, indicating other risk factors should be explored.
  • Out of 51.6% female patients, only gender emerged as a significant risk factor for periprosthetic fractures with an OR of 3.1.
  • Effective treatment options based on fracture pattern and patient health led to a 98% union rate at an average of 17.8 weeks post-surgery.
