Overview

Cross-sectional study shows lower quality of life in patients with femoral fractures, indicating better outcomes with stem revision.

Key Points

  • To assess the quality of life in patients following periprosthetic femoral fractures after hip arthroplasty.
  • Cross-sectional study design involving 60 patients with Vancouver type B periprosthetic femoral fractures.
  • Quality of life was assessed using the Serbian SF-36 questionnaire at least 12 months postoperatively.
  • Comparison made between patients with PFF and those who underwent primary THA.
  • Older age correlated with declines in Physical and Emotional functioning, Vitality, and Social activities (r = -0.619, p < 0.01).
  • Patients with femoral stem revision showed better quality of life compared to those with osteosynthesis alone (t = -2.266, p = 0.027).
  • Postoperative quality of life was significantly lower in patients after PFF surgery compared to primary THA (66.68 ± 15.60 vs. 84.10 ± 14.65, t = -5.092, p < 0.0005).
