Risk factors for complications within 30 days of operatively fixed periprosthetic femur fractures.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With a rising number of periprosthetic femur fractures (PPFFs) each year, the primary objective of our study was to quantify risk factors that predict complications following operative treatment of PPFFs.

Methods

A retrospective cohort study of 231 patients with a periprosthetic femur fracture was conducted at an Academic, Level 1 Trauma Center. The main outcome measurement of interest was complications, as defined by the ACS-NSQIP, within 30 days of surgery.

Results

56 patients had 96 complications. Bivariate analyses revealed ASA score, preoperative ambulatory status, length of stay, discharge disposition, time from admission to surgery, length of surgery, perioperative change in hemoglobin, Charlson comorbidity index, cerebral vascular accident/transient
