Overview

Retrospective cohort analysis illustrates surgical strategies and mortality predictors in interprosthetic femur fractures.

Key Points

  • Radiological union was achieved in 60% of patients at an average of 6.1 months post-surgery.
  • A frailty score of 5 or more was linked to delayed union, highlighting the importance of assessing frailty preoperatively.
  • Surgical fixation included lateral plate fixation in 40% of cases, with the majority operated within 72 hours of injury.
  • The study indicates a 26.7% mortality rate at one year, underscoring the challenges associated with interprosthetic femur fractures.
