Body
was changed:
Periprosthetic fractures can occur around any joint replacement and commonly occur around knee and hip arthroplasties.
Epidemiology
Periprosthetic fractures complicate around 1% of total hip arthroplasties and ~1.5% of total knee arthroplasties 1,2.
Radiographic features
They can be difficult to diagnose with metalware potentially obscuring the fracture on x-ray or creating extensive artifact on CT.
