Overview
A fracture around a joint replacement requires assessment of both the fracture and the stability of the implant. Treatment may involve fixation, revision of the replacement, or a combination of techniques.
Assessment and treatment planning
Planning is based on the fracture pattern, implant stability, bone quality, previous surgery and the patient’s overall health and mobility.
