Abstract
Purpose
The standardization of treatment strategies for periprosthetic femoral fractures is a critical objective for orthopedic surgeons. This review outlines detailed therapeutic approaches based on three classification systems: the Baba, AO/OTA, and Vancouver classifications.
Methods
This review examined implant stability assessment, internal fixation techniques, and revision strategies for hip function restoration in periprosthetic femoral fractures.
Results
The Baba classification objectively determines implant stability, guiding treatment selection. The AO/OTA classification assists in identifying the most appropriate internal fixation technique. The Vancouver classification informs the choice of reconstruction methods for revision surgery.
Conclusions
Management of periprosthetic femoral fractures necessitates specialized expertise in joint reconstruction while adhering to the fundamental principles of osteosynthesis to promote bony union.
