Risk Factors for Periprosthetic Femoral Fracture in Non-cemented Total Hip Arthroplasty Through the Direct Anterior Approach.

ABSTRACT: Background: Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed through the direct anterior (DA) approach is frequently marketed as superior to other approaches, there are concerns about increased risks of intraoperative and early postoperative femoral fracture. Purpose: We sought to assess patient-specific and radiographic risk factors for intraoperative and early postoperative (90-day) periprosthetic femoral fracture (PPFx) following DA approach THA. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 1107 consecutive, primary, non-cemented DA THAs, performed between April 2009 and January 2015, for intraoperative and early postoperative PPFx. Patients lost to follow-up before 90 days (63), cemented or hybrid THA (52), or early femoral failure for another indication (3) were excluded,
