Abstract
Aims & objectives
Collared stems have demonstrated acceptable long-term survivorship in cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, their impact on early postoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (PFF) remains unclear. This study compares early PFF rates requiring revision between collared and collarless stems in cementless THA and identifies risk factors.
Materials & methods
All consecutive patients undergoing primary, navigated, cementless unilateral THAs at our center from 2018 to 2024 were included. Non-navigated, cemented, or revision THAs were excluded. Early PFFs, defined as fractures within 90 days, were classified using the Vancouver system.
Results
Among 2859 patients (mean age 63.79 ± 10.58), 64.4 % received collarless stems. They were significantly younger (60.92 ± 10.49 vs. 68.99 ± 8.57, p < 0.001). Most in the collared group were female (62.7 %), while collarless recipients were mainly male (55.1 %, p < 0.001). Patients with ASA ≥3 were more likely to receive collared stems (72.6 % vs. 37.0 %, p < 0.001). Fifteen PFFs requiring revision were identified, all Vancouver B2, with 86.6 % classified as early PFFs. The fracture rates were comparable in univariate analysis (p = 0.128). Regression analysis showed collared stems significantly reduced PFF risk (OR: 0.081, 95 % CI: 0.01–0.39, p = 0.001). Conversely, increasing age (OR: 1.157 per year, 95 % CI: 1.07–1.27, p < 0.001) was associated with higher risk.
Conclusion
Collared stems significantly reduced PFF risk after adjusting for confounders, while older age independently increased fracture risk. Therefore, careful patient selection is crucial, especially for older patients.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Orthopaedics aims to be a leading journal in orthopaedics and contribute towards the improvement of quality of orthopedic health care. The journal publishes original research work and review articles related to different aspects of orthopaedics including Arthroplasty, Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, Trauma, Spine and Spinal deformities, Pediatric orthopaedics, limb reconstruction procedures, hand surgery, and orthopaedic oncology. It also publishes articles on continuing education, health-related information, case reports and letters to the editor. It is requested to note that the journal has an international readership and all submissions should be aimed at specifying something about the setting in which the work was conducted. Authors must also provide any specific reasons for the research and also provide an elaborate description of the results.
