Alarmingly High Rates of Complications and Refracture Among Patients with Early Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture Within 30 Days After THA

This study aims to compare the outcomes of patients who experience periprosthetic femoral fractures within 30 days after total hip arthroplasty (THA) to those who sustain fractures at later time points. The findings reveal that early fractures are associated with significantly higher rates of complications, refracture, and reoperation within two years, highlighting the need for targeted prevention and intervention strategies for these patients.
