Prevention of Periprosthetic Fractures: What Should We Be Doing to Address This Impending Epidemic?

The authors investigate the rising incidence of periprosthetic fractures following total hip arthroplasties, emphasizing the urgent need for preventive strategies due to the high morbidity and mortality associated with these fractures. They highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in arthroplasty care to mitigate the risks and improve outcomes for patients as the population ages and the number of joint replacements increases.
