All postoperative PPFx were identified, and those classified as Vancouver B were evaluated for treatment method and secondary reoperations.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Among 72 postoperative PPFx, 34 were classified as Vancouver B for an overall rate of 0.27% (34 of 12,400). The median time from THA to Vancouver B PPFx was 33 days. Patients over 75 years of age at surgery had a higher rate of Vancouver B PPFx (0.6%, 13 of 2,094) compared to patients 18 to 75 years of age at surgery (0.2%, 21 of 10,306, P < 0.001). Type C3 triple-taper collared titanium stems had a lower fracture rate (0.1%, four of 4,748) compared to Type A flat taper stems (0.7%, 23 of 3,105, P < 0.001). In patients over 75 at surgery, Type C3 stems had a lower fracture rate (0.3%, three of 923) compared to Type A stems (1.5%, seven of 472, P = 0.04). There were 28 patients who had Vancouver B fractures (82%) who underwent reoperation. Secondary reoperations were performed among 25% (seven of 28) of THAs, and three of these involved periprosthetic joint infection.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Consistent with other reports, the Vancouver B PPFx rate was higher in patients over the age of 75 at surgery. At our institution, Type C3 triple-taper collared titanium stems lowered the PPFx fracture rate in all age groups, including those over age 75 at surgery. Secondary reoperations remain highly morbid to patients.</p>","PeriodicalId":51077,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Arthroplasty","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143665360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
