Early Postoperative Functional Recovery in Older Patients With Periprosthetic Femoral Fractures: Comparison Between Cemented and Cementless Stem Revisions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early postoperative functional recovery is important in older patients with lower-extremity fractures to prevent disuse, and periprosthetic femoral fractures (PFFs) are no exception. This study aimed to compare the postoperative functional recovery in the early phase after revision for PFF with loose stems between cemented and cementless stems.

Methods

Eighteen patients with Unified Classification System type B2 PFF were included in this retrospective cohort study with a follow-up period of about 2 years. All patients underwent stem revision and were divided into 2 groups: the cemented stem group (n = 9) and the cementless stem group (n = 9). In postrevision, functional independence measure score, independent walk rate, activities of daily living recovery rate to
