Per Prosthetic Elbow Fractures


Periprosthetic fracture is an uncommon complication post arthroplasty, although it is increasing in frequency. This increase has been attributed in part to the increasing frequency of revision arthroplasty poorer bone stock and the popularity of uncemented prostheses tight press fit required for ingrowth  Periprosthetic fractures typically occur at the tip of the femoral stem often preceded by an area of increased cortical thickening, or “stress riser” Cerclage wires may be used for reinforcement  Should a fracture occur, a long stem femoral prosthesis is usually indicated that bypasses the fracture
