Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Periprosthetic femoral fractures, which are likely to increase as the population ages and total hip arthroplasty becomes more prevalent1, can be effectively managed by restoring femoral length via preoperative planning and surgical execution using a cementless, tapered, fluted stem. STEP 1 PREOPERATIVE PLAN: Template the contralateral, uninjured side. STEP 2 TEMPLATE THE FRACTURED SIDE: Identify the ideal COR on the injured side and template the femoral stem. STEP 3 ESTABLISH DEPTH OF REAMING: Use stem templates to establish a reference point on the reamer for use intraoperatively, and identify the distance from that point to an identifiable distal landmark.Entities:
